That night, her kiss told me it was over
I walked out late, into the dark
The misty gloom seemed to soak up my sorrow
The further I went on
I felt a spreading calm
Then, suddenly, my eyes were bathed in light
And the lovely lady in white was by my side
She said, "Like me, I see you're walking alone
Won't you please stay?"
I couldn't look away
She said, "I love the night
The day is OK, and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away
I love the night
There's so much that I can show and give to you
If you will welcome me tonight"
If only you had been there, my dear
We could have shared this together
No mortal was meant to know such wonder
One look in the mirror told me so
Come darkness, I'll see her again
Yes, I'm gonna go
'Cause now I know
I love the night
The day is OK, and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away
I love the night
I love the night
I love the night

Come darkness, I'll see her again
Yes, I'm gonna go
'Cause now I know
I love the night
Out in the air, cool and clear, it's free
It's the only way to be
I love the night
Once-hidden wonders now are there to see
They were pointed out to me
If only you had been there, my dear
We could have shared this together
Now, I never rise until the sun falls
And my vision knows no walls
I'm looking for ladies walking alone
They forget the day
When they hear me say
"I love the night
The day is OK, and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away"
I love the night
I love the night
I love the night

Lyrics[edit | edit source]
That night, her kiss told me it was over
I walked out late, into the dark
The misty gloom seemed to soak up my sorrow
The further I went on
I felt a spreading calm
Then, suddenly, my eyes were bathed in light
And the lovely lady in white was by my side
She said, "Like me, I see you're walking alone
Won't you please stay?"
I couldn't look away
She said, "I love the night
The day is OK, and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away
I love the night
There's so much that I can show and give to you
If you will welcome me tonight"
No mortal was meant to know such wonder
One look in the mirror told me so
Come darkness, I'll see her again
Yes, I'm gonna go
'Cause now I know
I love the night
Out in the air, cool and clear, it's free
It's the only way to be
I love the night
Once-hidden wonders now are there to see
They were pointed out to me
If only you had been there, my dear
We could have shared this together
Now, I never rise until the sun falls
And my vision knows no walls
I'm looking for ladies walking alone
They forget the day
When they hear me say
"I love the night
The day is OK, and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away"
I love the night
I love the night
I love the night
