The afternoon has gently passed me by The evening spreads its sail against the sky Waiting for tomorrow Just another day God bid yesterday goodbye Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight The future is but a question mark Hangs above my head there in the dark Can't see for the brightness Is staring me blind God bid yesterday goodbye Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
