Artist/Band: Sammy Davis Jr.
Lyrics for Song: Night Song
Lyrics for Album: Definitive Collection [2006]



Oh summer, not a bit of breeze

Neon signs are shining through the tired trees

Lovers walking to and fro

Everyone has someone and a place to go



Listen, hear the cars come, pass

They don't even see me flying by so fast

They're moving, going who knows where

Only thing I know is I am not going there



Where do you go

When you feel that your brain is on fire

Where do you go

When you don't even know what it is you desire



Listen, laughter everywhere

Hear it, life is in the air

As the night comes and the town awakes

Sound of children calling

And the squeal of brakes



Music but a lonely song

When you can't help wondering

Where do I belong

When you can't help wondering

Where do I belong
