lyrics
There’s a great big future behind us
That happened before.
And there’s a past
That sits in the present right here.
As bad as things possibly get or they already are,
Well, it goes on and on whether we like it or care.
C H O R U S
Because the night is young,
Because the night is young,
Because the night is young,
It will last all night long
Because the stars still shine
Standing the test of time
Day’s never far behind
Let’s be happy and sad while we may
Night or day
If you made this night last forever
I wouldn’t say no
To flow through our lives
Like a river stays new
And sooner or later arrives;
Maybe sooner than now.
But we sit side by side
And we watch it or ignore
CHORUS
Day belongs to those who sleep
Beyond the rising sun
Night belongs to dreamers
Who don’t want to; therefore:
CHORUS
That happened before.
And there’s a past
That sits in the present right here.
As bad as things possibly get or they already are,
Well, it goes on and on whether we like it or care.
C H O R U S
Because the night is young,
Because the night is young,
Because the night is young,
It will last all night long
Because the stars still shine
Standing the test of time
Day’s never far behind
Let’s be happy and sad while we may
Night or day
If you made this night last forever
I wouldn’t say no
To flow through our lives
Like a river stays new
And sooner or later arrives;
Maybe sooner than now.
But we sit side by side
And we watch it or ignore
CHORUS
Day belongs to those who sleep
Beyond the rising sun
Night belongs to dreamers
Who don’t want to; therefore:
CHORUS
