Late Night
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.
when I woke up today
and you weren't there to play
then I wanted to be with you
when you showed me your eyes
whispered love at the skies
then I wanted to stay with you
inside me I feel alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me
when I lay still at night
seeing stars high and light
then I wanted to be with you
when the rooftops shone dark
all alone saw a spark
spark of love just to stay with you
inside me I feel, alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me
if I mention your name
turn around on a chain
then the sky opens up for you
when we grew very tall
when I saw you so small
then I wanted to stay with you
inside me I feel, alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me
inside me I feel, alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me
