After The Lights Go Out As the sun goes down my silent little room is growing dim And the man next door is saying what a lousy day it’s been And the clock on the wall I’d like to put its ticking to an end In the room below the girl is crying for her guy again Chorus: After the lights go out what will I do? After the lights go out facing the night without you There’s a pigeon that’s been sittin’ on my window-sill all day I guess he’s lonely too I wonder if his love has flown away When I get upon my feet I need a cup of coffee anyway Someone called for you but I hung up the ’phone - what could I say? Chorus I don’t look for her I find her in the shadow of my mind For she’s just a girl whose memory will be wiped away with time Any second now the lamp down the street will show its light And I just can’t seem to tear away her kisses from the night Chorus +: Facing the night without you... by: José Duarte
