When shadows fall, the day is done
The mountain tops hide the setting sun
The magic of the night is here
For all young lovers, far and near

Night life, ooh, la, la, la, stars coming out to play
Night life, rah, rah, rah, rah
See how they light the milky way
At the end of day, night life

Night life, aye, aye, aye, aye, look at the moon above
Night life, ma, ma, ma, ma
It's time to fall in love
Yeah, so come on, night life

Night life, no need to be blue
The moon and the stars, all belong to you
Night life is so much fun
When you're in love and love is young

Night life, tra, la, la, la, laughing and painting the town
Night life, ha, ha ha, ha
It's just a merry go round
When the sun goes down, night life
