"While The City Sleeps" lyrics

"While The City Sleeps"

The stars grow dim and the moon sinks low
It's gettin' kind of late, and soon I'll have to go
So hold me now and maybe you will hear
The secret my heart keeps
As we're standing in the shadow
While the city sleeps

The day is done, crowds have left the street
My other love, he must never know we'll meet
For his heart would break if he would ever see you here with me
So we meet here in the shadows
While the city sleeps

I've tried so hard to tell him
That I've found somebody new
I've tried but it's so hard to do
I think I'd rather die
Than have to watch him cry

So kiss me now and hold me tight
We may not have tomorrow, but we still have tonight
Someday we'll walk in the sunlight
For all the world to see
But now we walk in shadow
While the city sleeps
While the city sleeps
While the city sleeps
While the city sleeps
