The Velvet Underground — After Hours

[Intro] 1-2-3 [Verse 1] If you close the door, the night could last forever Leave the sunshine out and say hello to never All the people are dancing and they're having such fun I wish it could happen to me But if you close the door I'd never have to see the day again [Verse 2] If you close the door, the night could last forever Leave the wineglass out and drink a toast to never Oh, someday I know someone will look into my eyes And say hello, you're my very special one But if you close the door I'd never have to see the day again [Bridge] Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars And the people on subways and trains Looking gray in the rain as they stand disarrayed Oh, but people look well in the dark [Verse 3] And If you close the door, the night could last forever Leave the sunshine out and say hello to never All the people are dancing and they're having such fun I wish it could happen to me 'Cause if you close the door I'd never have to see the day again [Outro] I'd never have to see the day again, once more I'd never have to see the day again
