the night is still young

i'm young enough to still see the passionate boy i used to be

but i'm old enough to say i got a good look at the other side

i know we got to work real hard

maybe even for the rest of our lives

but right now i just want to take what i can

get tonight

while the night is still young

i want to keep making love to you

while the night is still young

i'd like to settle down

get married

and maybe have a child someday

i can see a time coming when i'm gonna throw my suitcase out

no more separations

where you have to say goodnight to a telephone

baby i've decided that ain't what life is all about

oh

while the night is still young

while the night is still young

i want to try to make the world brand new

while the night is still young

rock and roll music was the only thing i

ever gave a damn about

there was something that was missing

but i never used to wonder why

now i know you're the one i needed

to make things right again

and i may lose the battle

but you're giving me the will to try

oh

while the night is still young

because the night is still young

i've got a lot of catching up to do

while the night is still young

while the night is still young

i want to try to make the world brand new

while the night is still young
