Night Falls
The Willy Deville Acoustic Trio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the morning breaks, the sun comes up
I'm still awake from the night before
The hours pass, I wait 'till when
The stars come out and the moon is lit.

This magic time between night and day
I wait all day long 'till you're mine again
The minutes like hours, the hours like days
'Till the stars come out and the sunlight fades.

No matter where I am or how long I wait
I'll be with you when the daylight's spent
And then nightfalls, then the nightfalls, oh the nightfalls
Just you and I at the nightfall, mm at nightfall.

This mystic time between night and day
I wait all day long 'till you're mine again
The minutes like hours, the hours like days
'Till the stars come out and the sunlight fades.

No matter where I am or how long I wait
I'll be with you when the daylight's spent
And then nightfalls, then the nightfalls, oh the nightfalls
Just you and I at the nightfall, at nightfall.
Nightfall, oh at nightfall
Just you and I at the nightfall.

Just you and I at the nightfall
You and I
Ooh at nightfall ...

The song repeats the idea that the minutes seem like hours and the hours seem like days until the stars come out and the sunlight fades. No matter how long the wait, the singer will be with their loved one when the daylight is spent. The night, especially the time of nightfall, is a special moment for the lovers to be together.


The repetition of the chorus, where the nightfall brings the lovers together, reinforces the idea of the song's message of how special the moments of love can be when waiting for someone.
