Lyric
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
The day is my enemy, the night my friend
For I’m always so alone
Till the day draws to an end
But when the sun goes down
And the moon comes through
To the monotone of the evening’s drone
I’m all alone with you
All through the night
I delight in your love
All through the night, you’re so close to me
All through the night, from a height far above
You and your love brings me ecstasy
When dawn comes to waken me
You’re never there at all
I know you’ve forsaken me
Till the shadows fall
But then once again
I can dream
I’ve the right
To be close to you
All through the night
