The afternoon has gently passed me by
The evening spreads its sail against the sky
Waiting for tomorrow
Just another day
God bid yesterday goodbye

Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

The future is but a question mark
Hangs above my head there in the dark
Can't see for the brightness
Is staring me blind
God bid yesterday goodbye

Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
