When the lights go down in the city
And the Sun shines on the bay
I want to be there in my city
Ooh, ooh, ooouhoo
So you think youre lonely
Well my friend I'm lonely too
I want to get back to my city by the bay
Ooh, ooh ooouhoo
Its sad, oh theres been mornings
Out on the road without you
Without your charms
Ooh, my, my, my
Ooh, ooh ooouhoo
When the lights go down in the city
And the Sun shines on the bay
I want to be there in my city
Ooh, ooh, ooouhoo
When the lights go down in the city
And the Sun shines on the bay
I want to be there in my city
Ooh, ooh, ooouhoo
