A Girl In The Night

She lives her life in honky tonks And the crowded back street bar A world of make-believe that knows No sun, no moon or star Just the glitter of the great white way And the glare of city light Where the music's loud, she's in the crowd A lonely girl in the night CHORUS: I wonder if she's thinking Of dreams that didn't last I wonder if she's haunted By heartaches from the past Perhaps there is a story Of a love that wasn't right Now the shadows hide her empty pride A lonely girl in the night Spoken: I watch her sit there so lonely As she lights a cigarette And the smoke rings rise, but in her eyes Oh, there seems to be such regret Is she there to tempt a lover In that dress that hugs her tight With a gla*s of wine to pa*s the time Just a lonely girl - in the night REPEAT CHORUS
