You will know I can't stay here
I belong to the shadows of night
Your kisses are so sweet but your embrase I can't keep
I belong to the dark side of the street
I can see the moon in your eyes
My heart aches for your loving sighs
But I can't stay here or
I will be undone
I can't be your year after year
The clouds race by your window calling out and telling me it's time to go
As I slip your head from my chest
I ease out and get dressed
Leaving you asleep on the pillow
You will know I couldn't stay here
For I belong to the shadows of night

You will know I can't stay here
I belong to the shadows of night
Your kisses are so sweet but your embrase I can't keep
I belong to the dark side of the street
I can see the moon in your eyes
My heart aches for your loving sighs
But I can't stay here or
I will be undone
I can't be your year after year
The clouds race by your window calling out and telling me it's time to go
As I slip your head from my chest
I ease out and get dressed
Leaving you asleep on the pillow
You will know I couldn't stay here
For I belong to the shadows of night
