I got appointments, work I have to do Keepin' me so busy all the day through They're the things that keep me from thinkin' of you Oh baby, I miss you so, I know I'm never gonna make it Oh, I'm so restless, I don't care what I say And I lose my temper ten times a day Still it's even worse when the night's on its way It's bad, oh, so bad Somehow I'd be doin' alright if it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it) I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it) How I fear the time when shadows start to fall Sittin' here alone and starin' at the wall Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights (Even I could see a light I think that I could make it) Somehow I'd be doin' alright if it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it) No-one to turn to, you know how it is I was not prepared for something like this Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss Oh baby, I feel so bad, I know I'm never gonna make it I got my business to help me through the day People I must write to, bills I must pay But everything's so different when night's on its way It's bad, oh, so bad Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it) I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it) How I fear the time when shadows start to fall Sittin' here alone and starin' at the wall Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights (Even I could see a light I think that I could make it) Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it) If it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it) if it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it) Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights (Even I could see a light I think that I could make it) Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it) If it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it) If it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it) Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights (Even I could see a light I think that I could make it) Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights
