Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Whenever dark has fallen
You know the spirit of the party starts to come alive
Until the day is dawning
You can throw out all the blues and hit the city lights
[Chorus]
'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of loving everywhere
So, give me the night (In the evening, alright tonight)
Give me the night (In the evening, every night)
[Verse 2]
You need the evening action
A place to dine, a glass of wine, a little late romance
It's a chain reaction
You'll see the people of the world coming out to dance
[Chorus]
'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of loving everywhere
So, give me the night (In the evening, every night)
Give me the night (In the evening, alright tonight)
[Bridge]
So, come on out tonight
And we'll lead the others on a ride through paradise
And if you feel alright, then we can be lovers
'Cause I see that starlight look in your eyes
Well, don't you know we can fly?
[Chorus]
Just give me the night (In the evening, alright tonight)
Give me the night (In the evening, every night)
[Chorus]
'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of loving everywhere
So, give me the night (In the evening, every night)
Give me the night (In the evening, alright tonight)
[Bridge]
So, come on out tonight
And we'll lead the others on a ride through paradise
And if you feel alright, then we can be lovers
'Cause I see that starlight look in your eyes
Don't you know we can fly?
[Verse 3]
And if we stay together
We'll feel the rhythm of the evening taking us up high
Never mind the weather
We'll be dancing in the street until the morning light
[Chorus]
'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of loving everywhere
So, give me the night (In the evening, alright tonight)
[Chorus]
Give me the night (In the evening, alright tonight)
Give me the night (In the evening, alright tonight)
Give me the night (In the evening, alright tonight)
Give me the night (In the evening, alright tonight)
Give me the night (In the evening, alright tonight)
Give me the night (In the evening, alright tonight)
So, give me the night (In the evening, alright tonight)
[Chorus]
'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of loving everywhere
So, give me the night (In the evening, alright tonight)
Give me the night (In the evening, alright tonight)
Give me the night (In the evening, alright tonight)
Give me the night (In the evening, alright tonight)
[Chorus]
'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of loving everywhere
So, give me the night
We can reach the stars if we try (In the evening, alright tonight)
Feeling free, just give me the night (In the evening, alright tonight)
We can reach the stars if we try (In the evening, alright tonight)
Feeling free, just give me the night (In the evening, alright tonight)
[Chorus]
'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of loving everywhere
So, give me the night (We can reach the stars if we try)
Give me the night (Feeling free, just give me the night)
Give me the night (We can reach the stars if we try)
Give me the night (Feeling free, just give me the night)
[Outro]
'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of loving everywhere
So, give me the night (We can reach the stars if we try)
Give me the night
