Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On the night line
On the night line
[Verse 2]
When I wake up in the morning light
Sunlight hurts my eyes
Something without warning, love
Lays heavy on my mind
[Verse 3]
Then I look at you
Then I look at you
Then I look at you
Then I look at you
[Verse 4]
Then I look at you
And the world's all right with me
[Verse 5]
Oh just one look at you
Just one look at you
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
For the night line
For the night line
[Verse 6]
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
[Verse 7]
Then I look at you
And the world's all right with me
Oh, just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
On the night line
For the night line
[Verse 8]
On the night line
On the night line
On the night line
On the night line
Oh
