Pink Martini - City Of Night Lyrics

While the sun's going down

With it's deep umber light

embracing the town

As we fall into the 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 of Night

Leave the worries of Day behind

And dream a new dream tonight




All the lamps 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 drunk

Singing songs of delight

But when dawn comes along

Love is lost in the light




But in the City of Night

In the City of Night

Leave the troubles of Day behind

And dream a new dream tonight




But in the City of Night

Oh in the City of Night

Leave the troubles of Day behind

And dream a new dream tonight




But in the City of Night

In the City of Night

You can leave it all behind

And dream a new dream tonight!
