Sweet Is the Night

Lyrics

When the day is done and there's nowhere to run
 And the people of the city have all lost and won
 In your city dress, you stand and stare
 And you smoke another cigarette and comb your hair
 And the light that shines
 Paints a trace of sadness on the street, I wait
 I can't seem to get to you
 Oh, you start to sway, check your Cartier
 'Cause it's gettin' late, you can't afford to wait
 So you move along where it's goin' on
 And the people of the night are playin' 'till the dawn
 And the sun that shines
 Paints a trace of sadness in your eyes that cry
 Wishin' and hopin'
 ♪
 Sweet, sweet is the night
 Now you are near
 Dark, dark were the days
 They disappear
 Sweet, sweet is the night
 Now you are near
 ♪
 Well, you did your thing and you lost your wings
 And you hurt so bad, you lost everything
 And the tears that fall on the city wall
 Will fade away with the rays of morning light that shines
 Paints a smile across your pretty face, I know
 Everything is alright, alright
 Sweet, sweet is the night
 Now you are near
 Dark, dark were the days
 They disappear
 Sweet, sweet is the night
 Now you are near
 (Sweet is the night)
 ♪
 Sweet, sweet is the night
 Now you are near
 Dark, dark were the days
 They disappear
 Sweet, sweet is the night
 Now you are near
 ♪
 (Now you are near)
