Lyrics for After Hours
One, two, three If you close the door, the night could last forever Leave the sunshine out and say hello to never All the people are dancing and they're having such fun I wish it could happen to me But if you close the door, I'd never have to see the day again If you close the door, the night could last forever Leave the wineglass out and drink a toast to never Oh, someday, I know someone will look into my eyes and say, "Hello, you're my very special one" But if you close the door I'd never have to see the day again Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars And the people on subways and trains Looking gray in the rain as they stand disarrayed Oh, but people look well in the dark And if you close the door, the night could last forever Leave the sunshine out and say hello to never All the people are dancing and they're having such fun I wish it could happen to me 'Cause if you close the door I'd never have to see the day again I'd never have to see the day again, once more I'd never have to see the day again
