Sweet Is the Night

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
 And I wait
 But I can't seem to get to you
 Well, you start to sway, check your Cartier
 'Cause it's getting late, you can't afford to wait
 So you move along where it's going on
 And the people of the night are playing till the dawn
 And the sun that shines
 Paints a trace of sadness in your eyes that cry
 Wishing and hoping, oh
 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, 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
