Girl in the Night

She lives her life in honky tonks and the crowded backstreet bars

A world of make believe that knows no sun no moon or stars

Just the glitter of the great white way and the glare of city lights

Where the music´s loud she´s in the crowd a lonely girl in the night

I wonder if she´s thinking of dreams that didn´t last

I wonder if she´s haunted by heartaches from the past

Perhaps there is a story of a love that wasn´t right

Now the shadows hide her foolish pride a lonely girl in the night

I watch her sit there so lonely as she lights a cigarette

And the smoke rings rise but in her eyes there seems to be such regret

Is she there to tempt a lover in that dress that hugs her tight

With a glass of wine to pass the time a lonely girl in the night
