Now and Forever is the
seventh studio album by Australian soft rock band Air Supply, released in 1982.
It was the band's last platinum album in America, and their last album to
continue the band's successful popularity, peaking at #25 on US charts. The
album contains the hit "Even the Nights Are Better" (#5), along with
the minor hits "Young Love" (#38) and "Two Less Lonely People in
the World" (#38).
"Even the Nights Are
Better" is the title of a popular song from 1982 (see 1982 in music) by
the Australian soft rock group Air Supply. "Even the Nights Are
Better" was included on Air Supply's 1982 album Now and Forever. The song
has also been covered by Anne Murray.
Released as a single in
mid-1982, "Even the Nights Are Better" first charted in the United
States on the Billboard adult contemporary chart, where it spent four weeks at
No. 1 in July and August. This was Air Supply's third song to reach the summit
on this chart. It also reached No. 1 on the Canadian AC chart. In September
1982, the song reached its peak position of No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100,
becoming the group's seventh consecutive top five hit on the US pop chart. In
the United Kingdom, where the group did not enjoy the same amount of success as
they did in Australia and the US, the song reached No. 44 on the UK Singles
Chart.
I,
I was the lonely one
Wondering
what went wrong, why love had gone
And
left me lonely
I,
I was so confused, feeling like I'd just been used
Then
you came to me and my loneliness left me
I
used to think I was tied to a heartache
That
was the heartbreak, but now that I've found you
Even
the nights are better
Now
that we're here together
Even
the nights are better
Since
I found you, oh
Even
the days are brighter
When
someone you love's beside ya
Even
the nights are better
Since
I found you
You,
you knew just what to do
'Cause
you had been lonely too
And
you showed me how
To
ease the pain and
You
did more than mend a broken heart
'Cause
now you've made a fire start
And
I, I can see that you feel the same way
I
never dreamed there'd be someone to hold me
Until
you told me and now that I've found you
Even
the nights are better
Now
that we're here together
Even
the nights are better
Since
I found you, oh
Even
the days are brighter
When
someone you love's beside ya
Even
the nights are better
Since
I found you
I
never dreamed there'd be someone to hold me
Until
you told me and now that I've found you
Even
the nights are better
Now
that we're here together
Even
the nights are better
Since
I found you, oh
Even
the days are brighter
When
someone you love's beside ya
Even
the nights are better
Since
I found you.
