A Thief in the Night Lyrics

This is our last kiss, our last moment of bliss
Darling, our love can never be right
For your ring's on her hand and my heart just can't stand
Stealing love like a thief in the night

Never more shall we meet on some dim-litted street
Darling, two wrongs just don't make a right
So I'm sending you home for I just can't go on
Stealing love like a thief in the night

Never more shall we meet on some dim-litted street
Darling, two wrongs just don't make a right
So I'm sending you home for I just can't go on
Stealing love like a thief in the night

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
