Now you are near
And you smoke another cigarette and comb your hair
Dark, dark were the days
Wishing and hoping, oh
Now you are near
Sweet, sweet is the night
Dark, dark were the days
With the rays of morning light that shines
They disappear
And the tears that fall on the city wall
In your city dress, you stand and stare
'Cause it's getting late, you can't afford to wait
Sweet, sweet is the night
I know everything is alright
And the sun that shines
And you hurt so bad, you lost everything
Sweet, sweet is the night
Well, you start to sway, check your Cartier
Will fade away
Sweet, sweet is the night
And the people of the night are playing 'till the dawn
Sweet, sweet is the night
In your eyes that cry
But I can't seem to get to you
So you move along where it's going on
Dark, dark were the days
Now you are near
Now you are near
Alright
Paints a trace of sadness
They disappear
Sweet is the night
They disappear
Paints a trace of sadness
Now you are near
Paints a smile across your pretty face
Well, you did your thing and you lost your wings
Now you are near
On the street I wait
And the light that shines
Sweet, sweet is the night
