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