Such A Lonely Night
William Pitt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

\"Baby, I can see you
Everytime I close my eyes
But I need to touch you
Everywhere be with you
Baby, you know by the way I speak
I send you love in a form no-one can see\"

But I can't hear your heart
I can't touch your hair
I can't stand between your eyes and light
I can't talk to you
I can't hold you tight
I can't tell you that I'm alright

\"Yes, here I am, I'll be gone in a week
You'll be alright
And it's like playing hide and seek
And we'll meet again
It will be like the strangest date
And I will swear that I'll be true\"

I'm crazy to leave you for more the one night
A man of this fortune to stay in sight
I can't sleep without you
I can't concentrate
And I know that you're feeling the same
Yes, baby, I need you to be where I lay
So I can see love in the break of day
To wake up beside you in every place
Oh, I've got to find a way for this
Such a lovely night, tonight

\"You say your prayers so sweet
And wait for the cat to come and warm your feet
And here I am looking for the light switch again
Forever in the night
Wherever I might be, I can imagine right\"

I can't hear your voice
I can't touch your face
I can't kiss you whenever I choose
I can't taste your lips
I can't hold you tight
But I know that there is no time to lose

\"Time to lose, time to lose
And every minute lost can never be retrieved
The world has changed you
The world has changed you\"

I'm crazy to leave you for more the one night
A man of this fortune to stay in sight
I can't sleep without you
I can't concentrate
And I know that you're feeling the same
Yes, baby, I need you to be where I lay
So I can see love in the break of day
To wake up beside you and now it's alright
'Cos it's such a long lovely night
Such a lovely night

\"And now, everything I have tried to
It's just for you\"

I'm crazy to leave you for more the one night
A man of this fortune to stay in sight
I can't sleep without you
I can't concentrate
And I know that you're feeling the same
Yes, baby, I need you to be where I lay
So I can see love in the break of day
To wake up beside you I know it's alright




'Cos it's such a long lovely night
Such a lovely night
