Dark Is The Night For All
A-Ha - Greatest Hits Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's time we said goodbye
Time now to decide
O' don't you feel so small
Dark is the night for all

It's time we moved out West
This time will be the best
And when the evenings fall
Dark is the night for all

It's time, yeah, to break free
It's time to pull away
For you and for me

It's time, yeah, to break free
We need to celebrate the mystery

It's time we said goodbye
Time for you and I

O' don't you feel so small
Dark is the night for all

"Stay on these roads" still fuels my dreams today

@sergiocaruso1331

Yes better than "the Beatles", the problem with A-ha is that they're not from UK so they don't have the marketing.

@vaniachiandotto7797

@@sergiocaruso1331 can someone explain to me why many as you say that they are underrated and underappreciated? Do you mean by the media? Record in Rio, grammy awards, other prizes, 30 years career, tickets for next year sold out....what can' I see? thank you

I live in the US and no one here knows about this song! A ha is a one hit wonder here in the states with “Take on me” being their only hit record. The only reason I know about this awesome song is that my wife and I are always in Britain in May & June every year and in 1993 this song was a huge hit going up to number 12 on the UK charts. It should’ve been a much bigger hit than that. This song is so great that it should’ve gone number one in most countries.

@cridiego

Yes, I never understood why Americans didn't appreciate this band as it deserved it. Here, in Argentina, and in the rest of Latin America, a-ha is and was very succesful with a lot of known songs...
