Electric Light Orchestra — Sweet Is the Night

[Verse 1: Jeff Lynne, Kelly Groucutt] 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 (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 [Verse 2: Jeff Lynne, Kelly Groucutt] Oh you start to sway, check your Cartier (it's getting late) '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 a-hoping, ooh [Chorus: Jeff Lynne and Kelly Groucutt] 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 [Verse 3: Jeff Lynne] 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, and paints a smile across your pretty face And I know everything is all right, hey all right [Chorus: Jeff Lynne and Kelly Groucutt] 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) [Chorus: Jeff Lynne and Kelly Groucutt] 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)
