When Some Nights
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Take me back, to a time I remember well
It's a fact, when your near
You know we could stop the world
If I'm wrong, then alright
You know it doesn't matter now
In my heart, you are mine
You know we're gonna make it somehow
Say it's not over yet
I can be anything, just for you I can make it right
Fortunes told in love's hearts, it doesn't have
to keep us apart
I'm a soldier of fortune, fighting for a means to an end
If there's love in you eyes, it's only
gonna take one night
Yeah, say it's not over and remember
[1st CHORUS:]
When some night you are lonely
You just call out my name
I will make you mine only
Make you mine only again
On the wings of a tear
You know we could ride the storm
Like desire, I was born
To give you everything and more
If you're a soldier of fortune
Fighting for a means to an end
If there's love in your eyes
It's plainer than the world we share
Yeah, say its not over and remember
[2nd CHORUS:]
When some nights you are lonely
You just call out my name
I'll make you mine only
Make you mine only again
Hold on to what you have
And not what you think is yours
Too many stand there
Blinded by the Light, They don't see.
Take me back to a time I remember well
It's a fact, when you're near
You know we could stop the world
So Remember...
[2nd CHORUS]
