Sweet Is The Night Lyrics
When your play is done and there's no where 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 we start to sway
Check your Cartier
Yes 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
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
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
Check your Cartier
Yes 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
Now you are near
Dark, dark were the days
They disappear
Sweet, sweet is the night
Now you are near
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
Everything is alright, alright
Now you are near
Dark, dark were the days
They disappear
Sweet, sweet is the night
Now you are near
(Sweet is the night)
Now you are near
Dark, dark were the days
They disappear
Sweet, sweet is the night
Now you are near

Love the guitar at the end. Haunting.
Nobody's Child part II
Haunting track indeed, Kelly's voice is gold.
JUST One of my favorites, Harmonizing is insane, could be because of the timing in my life. I was career girl and happiest I have been. Words seem to stick like glue.
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 .
