Sing along girl to the group of men all dancing in the bar
I stand stranded alone between them
Sing for me not one of those drinking playing games
The lights dance to the tune you play tonight, the smoke spells out your name
Sing along girl we could do something magical tonight
After you stop playing around, singing we could venture into the night
Where there is no light, that’s just the way it goes
When you stop, you place your guitar over your left shoulder; I see the way you walk away,
Cigarettes in the ash trays smolder
Time keeps ticking, the night is getting older, let me show you something to sing about
Sing along girl let me open your eyes to the promenade
The fortune tellers standing, old gypsy woman got your card
Let’s sneak away from the dancing men and all the silent nights
I’ve know this place some miles away, we can make it tonight
Just you and I
Silently we sit in my brand new second hand Ford; the only sound made now is the engine breathing
The owls watching, the moon falling as I fall for you
Sing along girl we don’t have much more time
Soon enough the sun will rise then fall a second time
The moon will return and then will you to take you place down town
Where the drunken men stand once again to listen to the sound
The strings of your guitar make whilst your voice fills the room
I again shall stand alone between the crowds of men
To watch my sing along girl
So sing along …… sing along girl ……
