City of Night - Pink Martini

Well the sun's going down
With its deep amber light
Embracing the town as we fall into night
To the silvery sound as the birds fly away
Getting ready for love
Getting out of the day

It is the city of night
It is the city of night
Leave the worries of day behind
And dream a new dream tonight

All the lamps are aglow
All the lips painted red
And you wish you could take
Back the last thing you said
Well the night is a drum
Singing songs of delight
But when dawn comes along
Love is lost in the light

But in the city of night
Oh, in the city of night
Leave the troubles of day behind
And dream a new dream tonight
