"After Hours" lyrics

"After Hours"
(originally by The Velvet Underground)

One, two, three, four

If you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
And say hello to never

All the people are dancing
And they're having such fun
I wish this could happen to me

But if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again

If you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the wine
Leave the wine-glass out
And drink a toast to never

Well, someday I know
Someone will look into my eyes
And say hello
You're my very special one

But if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again

Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars
And the people on subways and trains
Looking gray in the rain,
As they stand disarrayed
People look swell in the dark

But if you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
And say hello to never

Baby, someday I know
Someone will look into my eyes
And say hello
You're my very special one

But if you close the door, yeah
I'd never have to see the day again
I'd never have to see the day again
I'd never have to see the day again

Well if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again
I'd never have to see the day again
I'd never have to see Buba Wilkes again
