it was the night

it was the night

it was the night before

it was the night before we met

i sat alone right by the phone

it was the night

it was the day

it was the day you came

it was the day you came my way

what can i say?

you came to stay

it was the day. there's a storm

outside my window

flashes in the sky

what a night

i hear the voices calling

and i see the people running in the light

all this craziness i'm feeling just reminds me

that it really can't go on

and i want so much to tell you

but the number you have given me is wrong. it was the night

it was the night before

it was the night before we met

i sat alone right by the phone

it was the night

it was the time

it was the time we had

it was the time we had to live

our time to give

to be happy with

it was the time. i'm sitting in my room with the silhouetted moon in my eye

i stare into the darkness

and i see the planets hanging in the sky

and this temporary feeling is just telling me i've seen it all before

but the penetrating madness of the nightly news i really can't ignore. it was the night

we were drawn to the light

we were climbing higher

it was the day when we all came to say

we were on fire - it was the night. there are lovers on the roof

they are waiting for the proof they can see

there's an answer on its way

it was due back here today

to be free

and i thought that i should tell you

that you're just another image of my mind

but you need to keep it secret

'cos these days secrets are so hard to find. it was the night

it was the night before

it was the night before we met

i sat alone right by the phone

it was the night

it was the day

it was the day you came

it was the day you came my way

what can i say?

you came to stay

it was the day

it was the time

it was the night.
