Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night
What were the chances we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through.

Something in your eyes was so inviting,
Something in your smile was so exciting,
Something in my heart,
Told me I must have you.

Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello.
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away and -

Ever since that night we've been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.

(Instrumental Break)

Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away.

Ever since that night we've been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.

The summer wind, came blowin' in - from across the sea
It lingered there, to touch your hair - and walk with me
All summer long, we sang a song - and then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts, and the summer wind

Like painted kites, those days and nights - they went flyin' by
The world was new, beneath a blue - umbrella sky
Then softer than, a piper man - one day it called to you
I lost you, I lost you to the summer wind

The autumn wind, and the winter winds - they have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days - they go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies - through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind

. . .


When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen

When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one

When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
We'd ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five

But now the days are short
I'm in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
From fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs
And it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year

It was a massive good year

Let's forget about tomorrow,
Let's forget about tomorrow,
Let's forget about tomorrow for
Tomorrow never comes!

Domani -- forget domani,
Let's live for now and anyhow
Who needs domani?
The moonlight -- let's share the moonlight,
Perhaps together we will never be again.

Ah, che luna -- oh, che mare
With such a moon and such a sea,
And you and me.

I get so dizzy when you're standing near
It's not the music that you hear,
My heart is beating like a jungle drum.

Let's take the minutes as they speed away
And hope it's true what people say:
When you're in love to-morrow never comes.

Let's forget about tomorrow,
Let's forget about tomorrow,
Let's forget about tomorrow for
Tomorrow never comes!

Domani -- mahrone, domani!
With such a moon and such a sea,
And you and me.

Let's take the minutes as they speed away
And hope it's true what people say:
When you're in love tomorrow never comes.

Let's forget about tomorrow,
Let's forget about tomorrow,
Let's forget about tomorrow for
Tomorrow never never comes!

I know I stand in line,
until you think you have the time
to spend an evening with me

And if we go some place to dance
I know that there's a chance
you won't be leaving with me

And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
and have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
by saying something stupid
like :"I love you"

I can see it in your eyes
that you despise
the same old lies
you heard the night before

And though it's just a lie to you
for me it's true
it never seemed so right before

I practice everyday
to find some clever lines to say
to make the meaning come true

But then I think I'll wait
until the evening gets late
and I'm alone with you

The time is right
your perfume fills my head
the stars get red
and oh, the night's so blue

And then I go and spoil it all
by saying something stupid
like: "I love you"

The time is right
your perfume fills my head
the stars get red
and oh, the night's so blue

And then I go and spoil it all
by saying something stupid
like: "I love you"

"I love you"
"I love you"
"I love you"

That's life (that's life), that's what all the people say
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June

I said that's life (that's life), and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life (that's life), I tell you I can't deny it
I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life (that's life), that's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die

My life! ~

(Tell her you love her) each day
You'll make her happy that way
A simple "I love you" means more than money
And, with a kiss or two her life is sunny

Give her a reason to live
She needs the love that you give
Always remember that is what she lives for
She hopes you love her
Tell her you love her
Tell her you love her today

(Give her a reason to live)
(She needs the love that you give)
Always remember that is what she lives for
She hopes you love her
Tell her you love her
Tell her you love her today

. . .


Over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Once when you walked beside me
That inconceivable, that unbelievable world we knew
When we two were in love

And every bright neon sign turned into stars
And the sun and the moon seemed to be ours
Each road that we took turned into gold

But the dream was too much for you to hold

Now over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Days when you used to love me

instrumental-last two lines of first verse

And every bright neon sign turned into stars
And the sun and the moon seemed to be ours
Each road that we took, it turned into gold
But the dream was too much for you to hold

Now over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Days when you used to love me

Over and over I keep going over the world we knew


. . .


When somebody loves you, you feel it in your heart
When somebody loves you, you know it from the start
Every kiss becomes more than a kiss
Each look, each touch, they mean so much

And that's when you discover
how it feels to be a lover
When somebody loves you, it shows every in smile
When somebody loves you, your life becomes worth while
Always caring, always sharing everything you do

When somebody loves you like I love you

When somebody loves you, it shows every in smile
When somebody loves you, your life becomes worth while
Always caring, always sharing everything you do
When somebody loves you like I love you

This town is a lonely town
Not the only town like-a this town
This town is a make-you town
Or a break-you-town and bring-you-down town

This town is a quiet town
Or a riot town like this town
This town is a love-you town
And a shove-you-down and push-you-'round town



This town is an all-right town
For an uptight town like-a this town
This town, it's a use-you town
An abuse-you town until-you're-down town

This town is a losin' town
It's a miserable town
It's a nowhere town
And I am leavin' this town
You better believe that I'm leavin' this town
Man, it could never be uptown
It's bound to be downtown



This town, bye-bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye-bye

. . .


Softly, I will leave you softly, for my heart would break
If you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly, long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me stay
For one more hour or one more day
After all the years, I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there
(Softly, long before you kiss me)
(Long before your arms can beg me stay)
(For one more hour) or one more day
After all the years, I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there
As I leave I you there, as I leave I you there
