Well the sun's going down
With its deep umber light
Embracing the town as we fall into night
To the silvery sound as the birds fly away
Getting ready for love
Getting out of the day

It is the city of night
It is the city if night
Leave the worries of day behind
And dream a new dream tonight

All the lands are a glow
All the lips painted red
And you wish you could take
Back the last thing you said

Well the night is a drum
Singing songs of delight
But when dawn comes along
Love is lost in the light

But in the city of night
Oh, in the city of night
Leave the troubles of day behind
And dream a new dream tonight

Oh in the city of night
Oh, in the city of night
You can leave it all far behind
And dream a new dream tonight
