Lyrics:
VERSE
The day is my enemy,
The night my friend,
For I’m always so alone
Till the day draws to an end.
But when the sun goes down
And the moon comes through,
To the monotone of the evening’s drone
I’m all alone with you.
REFRAIN
All through the night I delight in your love
All through the night you’re so close to me.
All through the night from a height far above,
You and your love brings me ecstasy.
When dawn comes to waken me,
You’re never there at all.
I know you’ve forsaken me
Till the shadows fall,
But then once again I can dream I’ve the right
To be close to you all through the night
Sung here by the eldest Ms. Bear:
