Love me tender, love me true
Oooh baby what a song could do
We were sharp like needles in the dark, no question mark
My friend billy was one of a kind
Growin' up and runnin' wild
We could take a sunset and make it real
We stood together on the edge of a knife
[fools? ] to be friends, brothers for life

* and we have seen the night run, it's a thousand miles away
Yes we have seen the night run, it passed us by in just one day

Used to say well it's me and you
Oooh we could make dreams come true
And we put some magic in this night, oh feels so right
Came across your photograph
Everything was just a laugh
Where do you go when you reach the end
Into the night we would explode
With hand on my heart, rules of the road

* repeat twice

[instrumental]

Big city lights they fade then they go
[along with your sense of humor, no..]
Some people give up and lose the fight
We could prove it night after night after...

* repeat three times then start fading out
