Standard (EADGBE)

 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...
