Hold back the night from us
Cherish the light for us
Don't let the shadows hold back the dawn
Cold city lights glowing
The traffic of life is flowing
Out over the rivers and on into dark
I'm going downtown where there's music
I'm going where voices fill the air
Maybe there's someone waiting for me
With a smile and a flower in her hair
I'm going downtown where there's people
The loneliness hangs in the air
No one there really waiting
for me No smile, no flower, no air
Cold city lights glowing The traffic of life is flowing
Out over the rivers and on into dark Hold back the night from us
Cherish the light for us Don't let the shadows hold back the dawn
I'm going downtown where there's music
I'm going where voices fill the air
Maybe there's someone waiting for me
With a smile and a flower in her hair
I'm going downtown where there's
people My loneliness hangs in the air
With
no one there really waiting
for me
No smile, no flower, no air
Hold back the night
