Lyrics for Until the Night

I never ask you where you go After I leave you in the morning We go our different ways to separate situations It's not that easy anymore Today I do what must be done I give my time to total strangers But now it feels as though the day goes on forever More than it ever did before Until the night, until the night I just might make it Until the night, until the night When I see you again Now you're afraid that we have changed And I'm afraid we're getting older So many broken hearts, so many lonely faces So many lovers come and gone I'll have my fears like every man You'll have your tears like every woman Today we'll be unsure, is this what we believe in And wonder how can we go on Until the night, until the night I just might make it Until the night, until the night When I see you again When the sun goes down And the day is over When the last of the light has gone As they pour into the street I will be getting closer As the cars turn their headlights on As they're closing it down I'm gonna open it up And while they're going to sleep We'll just be starting to touch I'm just beginning to feel I'm just beginning to give I'm just beginning to feel I'm just beginning to live Before I leave you again Before the light of the dawn Before this evening can end I have been waiting so long Until the night, until the night I just might make it Until the night, until the night Just before the dawn Until the night, until the night When I see you again
