Take me now baby here as I am 

Pull me close try and understand 

Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe 

Love is a banquet on which we feed 



Come on now try and understand 

The way I feel under your command 

Come take my hand as the sun descends 

They can't hurt you now 

Can't hurt you now 

Can't hurt you now 



Because the night belongs to lovers 

Because the night belongs to love 

Because the night belongs to lovers 

Because the night belongs to us 



Have I doubt when I'm alone 

Love is a ring,the telephone 

Love is an angel disguised as lust 

Here in my bed 'til the morning comes 



Come on now try and understand 

The way I feel under your command 

Come take my hand as the sun descends 

They can't hurt you now 

Can't hurt you now 

Can't hurt you now 



Because the night belongs to lovers 

Because the night belongs to love 

Because the night belongs to lovers 

Because the night belongs to us 



With love we sleep 

with doubt the vicious circle 

turn and burns 

without you I cannot live 

forgive, the yearning burning 

I believe it's time, too real to feel 

so take me now, take me now, take me now 



Because the night belongs to lovers 

Because the night belongs to love 

Because the night belongs to lovers 

Yeah, and everybody says it, belongs to us 









    



Eager to please was just the way that he was 

though his attempts there falling short, 

expectation 

see he would tell of all his conquests, 

was he bragging? 

but in the evening all alone 

Ellen unplanned delays 

saving for someone who really cared about you 

invincible they say 

married to your name 

she was the kind between a child and a lady, 

quick was her temper 

like a blaez from an ember 

no one had measured to her standard, 

so in the evening all alone all alone 

how do I tell them to open their minds 

and to take a chance 

maybe on finding life’s treasure stubborn they stay set 

in their ways really not wanting to be lonely not alone.
