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 I wait 
     	But I can't seem to get to you.

     	Well, you start to sway, check your Cartier 
     	'Cos 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...

     		CHORUS: 
     		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...

     		REPEAT CHORUS
