1-2-3

If you close the door, the night could last forever

Leave the sunshine out and say hello to never

All the people are dancing and they're having such fun

I wish it could happen to me

But if you close the door

I'd never have to see the day again

If you close the door, the night could last forever

Leave the wineglass out and drink a toast to never

Oh, someday I know someone will look into my eyes

And say: hello, you're my very special one

But if you close the door

I'd never have to see the day again

Dark party bars

Shiny cadillac cars

And the people on subways and trains

Looking gray in the rain

As they stand disarrayed

All the people look well in the dark

And if you close the door, the night could last forever

Leave the sunshine out and say hello to never

All the people are dancing and they're having such fun

I wish it could happen to me

Cause if you close the door

I'd never have to see the day again

I'd never have to see the day again

(Once more)

I'd never have to see the day again
