When Im alone at night,

And theres no one to comfort me,

I think of you…

And suddenly my pillow is your face and your arms.

And when the winter wind comes chasin after me,

I think of you…

And its as though I crawl beneath the blanket

soft and warm.

 

How did I get from dark to daylight,

Before you happened to pass by?

How did I find my way through life,

Before you brightened up my sky?

Was there a sky at all,

Until you painted it for me?

How did I get on,

Till you came along?

 

Who knows how many times I pause in every day,

To think of you?

As often as the sun sails out upon the silent sea!

And if youre wonderin why it is I only think of you,

Well its because Id like to be as close to you,

As youve become to me!

I think of you…

I think of you…

YOU’RE CLOSER TO ME

Constantly girl you're on my mind,

And girl I think about you all of the time

And even though words are hard to say,

Girl I miss you, never thought I'd feel this way.

 

If you keep on taking, my heart you'll be breaking so why do you do this to me?

You know how I'm feeling it's you I believe in baby can't you see that I need you?

 

You know that it's true.

Every time I see your face I miss you baby

You know that it's you.

I want to let you know you're driving me crazy.

I'd do anything to help you to see, I don't think you understand what you're doing to me.

You know that it's true.

Every now and then I want to call you baby.

You know that it's you.

I say a prayer that you'll come back to me lady.

Oh yeah.

Life ain't anything alone can't you see you're an angel in my eyes,

Everyday you're closer to me.

 

Nobody's there when I call your name,

And nights are cold girl without your flame.

But if I could girl I'd make you see.

That I'm sorry, and that I need you here with me.

 

If you keep on taking, my heart you'll be breaking so why do you do this to me?

You know how I'm feeling it's you I believe in baby can't you see that I need you?

 

You know that it's true.

Every time I see your face I miss you baby

You know that it's you.

I want to let you know you're driving me crazy.

I'd do anything to help you to see, I don't think you understand what you're doing to me.

You know that it's true.

Every now and then I want to call you baby.

You know that it's you.

I say a prayer that you'll come back to me lady.

Oh yeah.

Life ain't anything alone can't you see you're an angel in my eyes,

Everyday you're closer to me.

 

Every day reminisce with the past

Of a love that we thought would last.

How we used to be when it was you and me.

How did it all disappear so fast.

There are days that I can't forget

There are things that I now regret.

I was there for you when you were there for me, and I was thinkin' we were set.

Every night when I'm laying in my bed

I hear your voice going round in my head, think of all the things

I could have done and all those things I could have said.

I really will make it up to you

I know now what I've got to do,

It took time but now I've realized how much I'm missing you.

 

You know that it's true.

Every time I see your face I miss you baby

You know that it's you.

I want to let you know you're driving me crazy.

I'd do anything to help you to see, I don't think you understand what you're doing to me.

You know that it's true.

Every now and then I want to call you baby.

You know that it's you.

I say a prayer that you'll come back to me lady.

Oh yeah.

 

Life ain't anything alone can't you see

Everyday you're closer to me.

've been out here walking and talking by myself

For about four hours now

Love is really a hurtin' thing

"Hey man, what's happening?"

"Hey brother, what's going on? Alright?"

He's got his woman over there

But mine's at home

 

What time is it?

Damn, almost 12.45

I think I'm gonna walk up here and see what's goin' on

Up here at this discotheque

There's always something goin' on in there

What becomes of the broken hearted

 

Oh baby

Oh this looks like the place

Everybody's goin' in

Step on up here

 

One ticket please

Lord almost everybody's here

"Hey what's goin' on man? It's okay?" "She's at home"

"Yeah, she's at home, yeah, she's at home"

 

Let the music play

I just wanna dance the night away

Here, right here, right here is where I'm gonna stay

All night long

 

Let the music play on

Just until I feel this misery is gone

Movin', kickin', groovin', keep the music strong

On and on and on and on and on and on

And on and on and on and on and on...

 

I'm out here dancin' and still

I can't erase the things I feel

The tender love we used to share

See, it's like it's no longer there

I've, I've got to hide what's killin' me inside

 

Let the music play

I just want to dance the night away

Here, right here, right here is where I'm gonna stay

All night long

 

Let the music play on

Just until I feel this misery is gone

Ah, movin', kickin', groovin', keep the music strong

Let it play on and on

Let it play on and on, and on, and on and on and on...

 

I think I'm gonna be alright, ha ha ha

If I can make it through the night, oh Lord

I'll just pretend she's here with me

I'll close my eyes, her face I'll see (won't somebody help me?)

I know it's make believe, but it's the only hope for me

 

Let the music play

I just want to dance the night away

Here, right here, right here is where I'm gonna stay

All night long

 

Let the music play on

Just until I feel this misery is gone

Ah, movin', kickin', groovin', keep the music strong

Let it play

 

Maybe you oughta see me now

And then you'd know that it's only you that I love

I'm not out here looking for a one night affair

Think it's just that I'm... that I'm so hurt inside

But all I wanna do is just dance, dance, dance

 

Let the music play

I just want to dance the night away

Here, right here, right here is where I'm gonna stay

All night long

 

Let the music play on

Just until I feel this misery is gone

Movin', kickin', groovin', keep the music strong

Let it play on

 

Let it play on

Let it play on

Please let it play on

Let it play on.

An old friend told me that you just ran out of chances,

One too many dances down the narrow street of time.

Remember how we faced the world, like two tramps shining.

Please, don't let that magic ever end.

Don't forget what we learned living on the wind.

 

No night so long that you can't find the day;

No day so wrong that you can't find your way;

Call on me like you used to do,

I still can show you who you are.

 

That day the long and dusty road had us both crying,

We used up our last joke just to try to smile a again.

And only now I find I know what we were learning,

Though it's dark and you have traveled far.

Every long night gives you one bright shining star.

 

No night so long that you can't find the day;

No day so wrong that you can't find your way;

Call on me like you used to do,

I can still show you who you are.

 

Deep in the night you know that you'll find,

Deep in the night you know that you'll find the way.

No night so long that you can't find the day;

No day so wrong that you can't find your way;

Call on me like you used to do,

I still can show you who you are.

No night so long that you can't find the day;

No day so wrong that you can't find your way.
