The Girls of the Night Lyrics

[00:26.58] We're the pleasures of the nighttime that fade at dawn;
[00:33.17] Selling treasures of the nighttime til night is gone...
[00:40.22] And then when the party's over, everybody's gone away...
[00:47.73] We stare at an empty day - what is there to do or say?
[00:55.12] Nighttime is where we live;
[00:58.22] Night is when we give everything we have to give
[01:02.99] Most lovers can rejoice, we don't have a choice;
[01:06.42] We just know we have to give...
[01:09.74] That's why the day can never be bright
[01:14.88] For the girls of the night...
[01:23.95] Somehow, I know there's a someday that's just for me...
[01:31.73] Everybody has a someday - so, why not me?
[01:38.72] Lucy, do you really need to fill your heart with empty dreams?
[01:45.58] You'll always be what you are - stop chasing that distant star!
[01:52.69] Nighttime is where we live- (I want)
[01:54.70] Night is when we give (To live)
[01:56.43] Everything we have to give;
[01:59.37] Most lovers can rejoice (For only)
[02:01.86] We don't have a choice: (Him!)
[02:03.49] We just know we have to give...
[02:06.73] That's why the day can never be bright
[02:11.08] For the girls of the night
[02:17.19] Fly away, fly away, let me find my wings;
[02:24.06] Let me be the girl I want to be!
[02:29.43] I'm afraid to fly away, for all I have is here...
[02:38.44] I have my hopes...-
[02:39.75] I have a child, and children must be fed!
[02:45.48] Forget your hopes, or you will be misled!
[02:51.16] With the dawn they disappear...
[02:54.49] ...then why are mine still here...?
[02:57.19] Fly away, fly away, fly away...
[03:05.33] Ask me to share your fantasies, dear
[03:08.87] But don't ask me where tomorrow is
[03:12.40] Don't ask me where to find happiness
[03:15.57] Though I know for sure where sorrow is
[03:19.59] Sorrow is where the dark meets the light...
[03:26.32] Someday I pray my fears will take flight...
[03:33.57] Sorrow is where all hope fades from sight
[03:38.11] For the girls of the night...
[03:44.86] We're the girls of the night...
[03:51.64] Just the girls of... the night...
[04:03.85]
