Night
Language: English
Nighttime stars are gleaming Nighttime starts me dreaming Thoughts of the past make me yearn Tho' we're not together I still wonder whether You ever think of returning. Chorus Night when evening shadows fall Night most lonesome time of all, Sweetheart, how I miss you, Longing to kiss you, I don't seem to mind the day, Even tho' you're far away, But when nighttime comes I feel so blue Night brings memories of you. Nighttime seems much longer Love keeps getting stronger I just can't go on this way Can't you hear me pleading your love I am needing I wonder why you're delaying.
