[Lyric] Here Comes the Night (Janis Ian)

[Verse 1]
Touch in the tenderest night
Before the feelings take flight
Touch and you make everything new
Everything bright, shiny and true

[Refrain]
Before the dawn and the light
Here comes the night

[Verse 2]
Here in the heart, I still breathe
Longing, a part of me I can't see
And if the heart cannot redeem
One soul apart, one separate dream

[Refrain]
Before the dawn and light
Here comes the night

[Bridge]
Here we are waiting (Waiting) and longing (Longing)
Crying out "I am more than just a man"
Building castles in the sand
All of us needing and leaving
Long before the break of day
So little time to say
Well I am—I know the way
And I wanna be somebody
Who can see forever
Wanna be somebody
Who can see forever
[Verse 3]
Here in the heart, I still dream
Here in the heart of life I seem
Somebody light (Wanna be), somebody new (Somebody)
Somebody bright (Who can see), shiny and true (Forever)
(Somebody light) Wanna be (Somebody new) somebody
(Somebody bright) Who can see (Shiny and true) forever
(Somebody light) Wanna be (Somebody new) somebody
(Somebody bright) Who can see (Shiny and true) forever

[Refrain]
Before the dawn and the light
Here comes the night
Before the dawn and the light
Here comes the night
