After the Lights Go Out

[Verse 1]
As the sun goes down
My silent little room is growin' dim
And the man next door
Is sayin' what a lousy day it's been
And the clock on the wall
I'd like to put its tickin' to an end
In the room below
A girl is cryin' for her guy again

[Chorus]
After the lights go out
What will I do?
After the lights go out
Facin' the night without you

[Verse 2]
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 up on my feet
I need a cup of coffee anyway
Someone called for you
But I hung up the phone, what could I say?

[Chorus]
After the lights go out
What will I do?
After the lights go out
Facin' the night without you

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
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]
After the lights go out
What will I do?
After the lights go out
Facin' the night without you

[Outro]
Facin' the night without you
Facin' the night without you
Facin' the night without you
Facin' the night without you
