Don't take the night away

See the sun is going down
Laying on this dusty town
The night again
Shoo-ing all the kids inside
When the moon steps out to ride
The stars again

Doesn't it seem to be
One of those times you wait all day for
Looking out to the sea
Keeping it in my mind's eye

Don't take the night away
Just make the sunset longer
Don't take the night away
Red sky at night
Is my delight

Dreaming of an age ago
Years that seemed to pass so slow
But now they're gone
With you sitting by my side
We can take the midnight ride
And dream along

Isn't it good to be
Watching the sun go down together
Hoping we'll always be
Sitting this close when I say
Isn't it good to be
Sitting this close when I say

Don't take the night away
Just make the sunset longer
Don't take the night away
Don't wanna see tomorrow

Don't take the night away
(Don't take the night away)
Just make the sunset longer
(Make it last)
Don't take the night away
Don't wanna see tomorrow
(Don't wanna see, don't wanna see)
