Girl in the Night [Take 18] [Take]

She lives her life in honky tonks and crowded backstreet bars A world of make believe that knows no sun or moon or stars Just a glitter of the great white way and the glare of city lights Where music's loud she's in the crowd, a girl in the night 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 shadows hide her empty pride, a girl in the night She's sitting there so lonely as she lights a cigarette The smoke rings rise and in her eyes there seems to be regret Is she there to tempt the lover in a dress that hugs her tight? A glass of wine to pass the time, a girl in the night 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 shadows hide her empty pride, a girl in the night Now shadows hide her empty pride, a girl in the night
