Sweet Is the Night Electric Light Orchestra

[Verse 1: Jeff Lynne]
When the day is done and there's nowhere to run
(Nowhere to run)
And the people of the city have all lost and won
In your city dress, you stand and stare
(You stand and stare)
And you smoke another cigarette and comb your hair

[Pre-Chorus: Kelly Groucutt]
And the light (The light) that shines (That shines)
Paints a trace of sadness
On the street (The street), I wait (I wait)
But I can't seem to get to you

[Verse 2: Jeff Lynne]
Oh, you start to sway, check your Cartier
(It's getting late)
'Cause it's getting late, you can't afford to wait
So you move along where it's going on
(It's going on)
And the people of the night are playing 'till the dawn

[Pre-Chorus 2: Kelly Groucutt]
And the sun (The sun) that shines (That shines)
Paints a trace of sadness
In your eyes (Those eyes) that cry (That cry)
Wishing and a-hoping, oh
