Save the night
If I could find the feeling
I could save the light
That lit our nights before
Before we knew the reasons
Saving nights were for
Save the light
The light that made us sure
We'd never find that light
At any other door
Overdone
I'm sure this song I'm singing has been sung
But I'm gonna sing it again
Save the past, 'cause the future's a question
On your own
Remember, when you are alone
It's great this feeling of being secure
But I always thought there'd be more
But I always thought there'd be more
To save the life
While you are playing husband
I will play the wife
But sometimes I'll slip away
I'll pretend that it all can go another way
Sometimes I'll slip away
I'll pretend life and dream that I can save the day
Save the night
La da la la....
