Sweet Is The Night Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

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 

'Cause 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 is the night 

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
