The Night Is Young

What happened to the homecoming king?

She thinks about him every September

Woke up from the American Dream

Needing another night to remember

One with magic under the mirror ball

Making memories and love in his car

No, she never wanted to take it slow

Sometimes that's just how the story goes

Don't give up when you're down

Don't look back on your life like it's over now

Sure, we're all gonna die, the time will come

And maybe the old days are gone

But the night is young

"What you drinking? Son have a seat,"

He said to me and ordered another

He woke up from the American Dream

Alone after the war he discovered

All the ticker tape and the glory fades

Life goes on and nothing gold ever stays

No, he never wanted to take it slow

Sometimes that's just how the story goes

Don't give up when you're down

Don't look back on your life like it's over now

Sure, we're all gonna die, the time will come

And maybe the old days are gone

But the night is young

Yeah, the night is young

Kings and queens and soldiers age

You can see the writing on their face;

Played the pawn in every game

Quintessential as it seems

When you're looking back at seventeen

Life is but a dream

(Yeah)

Don't give up when you're down

Don't look back on your life like it's over now

Sure, we're all gonna die, the time will come

And maybe the old days are gone

Don't give up when you're down

Don't look back on your life like it's over now

Sure, we're all gonna die, the time will come

And maybe the old days are gone

But the night is young

Yeah the night is young, oh the night is young

Yeah the night is young

(Yeah the night is young)
