I Don't Want the Night to End [Original Demo] by Phoebe Snow

Oh mommy, mommy
Oh mommy, mommy, yeah
I stood too near the gaslight
And I cried the dirty city mist
Had seeped too deep inside
It took me on some kind of heady ride
They told me Charlie Parker died

And I don't want, I don't want the night to end
And I don't want the night to end

Oh daddy, daddy
Oh daddy, daddy
Waiting half my life on platforms underground
The other half I wasted as a desperate clown
My problem now is that you're not around
In dark delicious dreams of you I'll drown

And I, I don't want, I don't want the night to end
And I don't want the night to end

Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby
Wrapped around your soul is where I wanna be
But in the night blue music's all I seem to see
The drunks out in the rain down on one knee
And what is to become of you and me

And I, I don't want oh the night to end
And I don't want the night to end
I don't want the night to end
The night to end
