Who loves you, pretty baby?  
Who’s gonna help you through the night?  
Who loves you, pretty mama?  
Who’s always there to make it right?

Yesterday is dead and gone  
And tomorrow’s out of sight  
And it’s sad to be alone  
Help me make it through the night

Down down and down,  
Down down and down  
As we spin through the night  
With ever increasing might

Down down and down,  
Down down and down  
Returning volumes of sound  
Into the blackness we drown

You give me back that time right now  
I can see it if I close my eyes  
Was every minute just a waste?  
Was every hour a foolish chase?  
I don’t believe it

She went all the way  
All the way down  
She went all the way  
All the way down

And now our bodies are, oh, so close and tight  
It never felt so good, it never felt so right  
And we’re glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife  
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife  
C’mon, hold on tight  
Well, c’mon, hold on tight

Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night  
I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Put your feet on the dashboard  
Turn on the headlights  
This night will be our passport  
In the octane twilight

</div>

With your head held high  
And your scarlet lies  
You came down to me  
From the open skies  
It’s either real or it’s a dream  
There’s nothing that is in between

Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile  
Twilight, I gave you time  
To steal my mind  
Away from me

Heavenly shades of night are falling  
It’s twilight time  
Out of the mist, your voice is calling  
'Tis twilight time

_Twilight time_ to dream awhile  
In veils of deepening blue  
As fantasy strides over colourful skies,  
Perform, disappearing from view.  
In twilight time  
Dream with me awhile

Stars shinin’ bright above you  
Night breezes seem to whisper, “I love you”  
Birds singin’ in the sycamore tree

The stars are falling from the sky  
And you’re the reason why  
The moon is shining on your face  
And I finally think it’s found its place

The first time, ever I saw your face  
I thought the sun rose in your eyes  
And the moon and the stars  
Were the gifts you gave  
To the dark, and the endless sky

Beside the garden wall when stars are bright  
You are in my arms  
The nightingale tells his fairy tale  
Of paradise where roses grew

Though I dream in vain  
In my heart it will remain  
My stardust melody  
The memory of love’s refrain

</div>

It’s one o’clock and time for lunch (hum de dum, de dum)  
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench  
I can always hear them talk

There’s always been Ethel  
“Jacob, wake up, you’ve got to tidy your room now”  
And then Mister Lewis  
“Isn’t it time that he was out on his own?”  
Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds  
Cuckoo to you  
Keep them mowing blades sharp

I know what I like  
And I like what I know  
Getting better in your wardrobe  
Stepping one beyond your show (your show)  
Your show

I know what I know  
I’ll sing what I said  
We come and we go  
That’s a thing that I keep in the back of my head
