As The Night Goes By

Patti Smith

Darlin' come under cover

Another night to discover

Let's slip where senses gather

Let's drift between the sea and sky

As the night goes by



Sands shift

Orchids so strange

In the moonlight

Brushing our faces

Places where love blooms

And dies

While the night goes by

Oh, and the spirits call

Sun upon your shadows fall

Tracing every breath we draw



Come into my dreams

Come into my dreams

Darlin' let's go where the night goes

Let's drift where senses gather

Let's make this night last forever

Into my dreams

Into my dreams



Darlin' let's go

Where the night goes

Time slips

Oh darlin' how it flies

When the night goes by



All through the night

Sirens call

Come to me

I'll come to you

As the night softly

goes by bye



Midnight

Moon on our shoulder

Daybreak

Another one older

Darlin' heavenly blue

Glories fade into view



Let's go

Under the stars

That are beating

Under the moonlight

Stars shoot

Dusk just a whisper

Make this night

Last forever

Oh how I wonder

Where the night goes

Oh Let's wonder

Where the night goes

As the night goes

By bye

By Bye
