Little River Band - It Was The Night Lyrics

It was the night, it was the night before
It was the night before we met, I sat alone
Right by the phone, it was the night

It was the day, it was the day you came
It was the day you came my way, what can I say?
You came to stay, it was the day

There's a storm, outside my window
Flashes in the sky, what a night
I hear the voices calling
And I see the people running in the light

All this craziness I'm feeling just reminds me
That it really can't go on
And I want so much to tell you
But the number you have given me is wrong

It was the night, it was the night before
It was the night before we met, I sat alone
Right by the phone, it was the night

It was the time, it was the time we had
It was the time we had to live, our time to give
To be happy with, it was the time

I'm sitting in my room with the silhouetted moon in my eye
I stare into the darkness, and I see the planets hanging in the sky
And this temporary feeling is just telling me I've seen it all before
But the penetrating madness of the nightly news, I really can't ignore

It was the night, we were drawn to the light
We were climbing higher
It was the day when we all came to say
We were on fire, it was the night

There are lovers on the roof
They are waiting for the proof they can see
There's an answer on its way
It was due back here today to be free

And I thought that I should tell you
That you're just another image of my mind
But you need to keep it secret
'Cos these days secrets are so hard to find

It was the night, it was the night before
It was the night before we met, I sat alone
Right by the phone, it was the night
It was the day, it was the day you came

It was the day you came my way, what can I say?
You came to stay, it was the day
It was the time, it was the night
