Allelujah [Live] Lyrics

The lights on the westway go on
A million cars hurry home
An ice cream van shuts off its tinsel bells
Winter won't be long

I see you every day
I watch as you walk down this way
We pass on the stairs of this council block
Too shy to find words to say

But your smile is a prayer that prays for love
And your heart is a kite that longs to fly
Hallelujah here I am
Let's cut the strings tonight

So meet me on the corner at eight
Let's get out of this place
We'll kiss the first of a million kisses
And let the past fall away

For your smile is a prayer that prays for love
And your heart is a kite that longs to fly
Hallelujah here I am
Let's cut the strings tonight

Yes your smile is a prayer that prays for love
And your heart is a kite that longs to fly
Hallelujah here I am
Let's cut the strings tonight

Yes your smile is a prayer that prays for love
And your heart is a kite that longs to fly
Hallelujah here I am
We'll cut the strings tonight

And we'll kiss the first of a million kisses
La-la-la-la-la-la

Walking after midnight

Do You Want To Know A Secret

The lights on the westway go on 
A million cars hurry home 
An ice cream van shuts off its tinsel bells 
Winter won't be long 
 
I see you every day 
I watch as you walk down this way 
We pass on the stairs of this council block 
Too shy to find words to say 
 
But your smile is a prayer that prays for love 
And your heart is a kite that longs to fly 
Hallelujah here I am 
Let's cut the strings tonight 
 
So meet me on the corner at eight 
Let's get out of this place 
We'll kiss the first of a million kisses 
And let the past fall away 
 
For your smile is a prayer that prays for love 
And your heart is a kite that longs to fly 
Hallelujah here I am 
Let's cut the strings tonight 
 
Yes your smile is a prayer that prays for love 
And your heart is a kite that longs to fly 
Hallelujah here I am 
Let's cut the strings tonight 
 
Yes your smile is a prayer that prays for love 
And your heart is a kite that longs to fly 
Hallelujah here I am 
We'll cut the strings tonight 
 
And we'll kiss the first of a million kisses 
La-la-la-la-la-la

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.
