And yes, I know how
lonely life can be
The shadows follow me 'n'
the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you love me, too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but life is dead
That is my belief
And yes, I know
how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
and the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
