After The Lights Go Out

As the sun goes down

My silent little room is growin' dim

And the man next door

Is sayin' what a lousy day it's been

And the clock on the wall

I'd like to put its tickin' to an end

In the room below

A girl is cryin' for her guy again

After the lights go out

What will I do?

After the lights go out

Facin' the night without you

There's a pigeon that's

Been sittin' on my window sill all day

I guess he's lonely too

I wonder if his love has flown away

When I get up on my feet

I need a cup of coffee anyway

Someone called for you

But I hung up the phone, what could I say?

After the lights go out

What will I do?

After the lights go out

Facin' the night without you

I don't look for her

I find her in the shadow of my mind

For she's just a girl

Whose memory will be wiped away with time

Any second now

The lamp down the street will show its light

And I just can't seem

To tear away her kisses from the night

After the lights go out

What will I do?

After the lights go out

Facin' the night without you

Facin' the night without you

Facin' the night without you

Facin' the night without you

Facin' the night without you
