It was 9-29, 9-29, back street, big city
The sun was going down
There was music all around
It felt so right
It was one of those nights
One of those nights when you feel the world stop turning
You were standing there, there was music in the air
I should've been away, but I knew I had to stay
Last train to London, just heading out
Last train to London, just leaving town
But, I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you
Let the music play on down the line tonight
It was one of those nights
One of those nights when you feel a fire is burning
Everybody was there, everybody to share
It was so right
There you were on your own
Looking like you were the only one around
I had to be with you, nothing else that I could do
I should've been away, but I knew I had to stay
Last train to London, just heading out
Last train to London, just leaving town
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you
Let the music play on down the line tonight
Underneath a starry sky
Time was still but hours must really have rushed by
I didn't realize
But love was in your eyes
I really should've gone, but love went on and on
Last train to London, just heading out
Last train to London, just leaving town
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you
Let the music play on down the line tonight
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you
Let the music play on down the line tonight
