The hour is very late,
And I can see you're getting worried
The coffee's finished, candles low
And soon you'll be asleep

Long walk on the night is chilly
And my room is cosy
I've got a feeling,
You won't be leaving tonight.

Never thought to ask you
Why you really came to see me
Was it just a picture bin
No neatly on the wall.

Candle lights place shadows
Of your figure on the ceiling
I've got a feeling
You won't be leaving at all.

I don't try to fight it baby
I see the lovelight in your eyes
Just hold me tight then baby
You treat and I'm not telling lies.

Never thought to ask you
Why you really came to see me
Was it just a picture bin
No neatly on the wall.

Candle lights place shadows
Of your figure on the ceiling
I've got a feeling
You won't be leaving at all.
I've got a feeling
You won't be leaving at all.
I've got a feeling
You won't be leaving at all.
I've got a feeling
You won't be leaving tonight.

Herman's Hermits

Herman's Hermits are an English beat (or pop) band, formed in Manchester in 1963 as Herman & The Hermits. The group's record producer, Mickie Most (who controlled the band's output), emphasized a simple, non-threatening, clean-cut image, although the band originally played R&B numbers. This helped Herman's Hermits become hugely successful in the mid-1960s but dampened the band's songwriting; Noone, Hopwood, Leckenby and Green's songs were relegated to B-sides and album cuts. more »
