Here Comes The Night
Norman Chris Lyrics

Whoa, here it comes
The singer realizes that something he has been dreading is finally happening

Here comes the night
The night symbolizes a depressing period in the singer's life

Here comes the night
Repetition of the phrase emphasizes the singer's sense of hopelessness and despair as the inevitable unfolds

Whoa-whoa-whoa-yeah
The artist's regret and sorrow is conveyed through this line

I could see right out my window
The artist observes his ex-girlfriend with her new partner

Walkin down the street, my girl
The singer reminisces about his past relationship with his ex-girlfriend

With another guy
The singer sees his ex-girlfriend with a new love interest

His arm around her
The physical gesture is a symbol of the new relationship, which is painful for the artist

Like it used to be with me
The artist compares the new relationship to the way he used to be with his ex-girlfriend

Whoa, it makes me want to die-I
The artist's emotional pain is so intense that he feels like dying

Yeah-yeah-yeah
The singer's lamentable tone is reinforced through this line

There they go
The artist continues to observe his ex-girlfriend and her new partner

Its funny how they look so good together
The singer notices that his ex-girlfriend and her new partner seem to be a perfect match

Wonder what is wrong with me?
The singer questions himself and his worthiness of love

Why cant I, accept the fact shes chosen him
The singer struggles to come to terms with the fact that his ex-girlfriend has moved on

And simply let them be?
The artist wishes he could move on and let his ex-girlfriend be happy with her new partner

Shes with him hes turning down the lights
The artist's ex-girlfriend is intimate with her new partner

And now hes holding her
The new partner is giving the ex-girlfriend comfort and security

The way I used to do
The singer was the one who used to give his ex-girlfriend comfort and security

I could see, her closing her eyes
The artist continues to observe the intimacy between his ex-girlfriend and her new partner

And tellin him lies
The artist is reminded of the lies his ex-girlfriend told him in the past

Exactly like she told me, too
The artist realizes that his ex-girlfriend is repeating the same lies to her new partner that she told him

The long, the long and lonely night night, night,
The night symbolizes a long and lonely period for the singer, which is emphasized through repetition and elongation of words

Night, night, night, night
Repetition of the word 'night' further underscores the artist's despair and loneliness

Fades-
The song fades to emphasize the fading of hope for the singer

Whoa, here comes the night
The singer repeats the line to signify his repeated realization of the incoming depressing period in his life

The long, the long, the long and lonely night
The singer repeats the phrase to emphasize the prolonged sadness he is about to experience
