After Hours

Velvet Underground

one, two, three



If you close the door

the night could last forever

Leave the sunshine out

and say hello to never



All the people are dancing

and they're having such fun

I wish it could happen to me



But if you close the door

I'd never have to see the day again



If you close the door

the night could last forever

Leave the wine-glass out

and drink a toast to never



Oh, someday I know

someone will look into my eyes

And say hello

you're my very special one



But if you close the door

I'd never have to see the day again



Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars

and the people on subways and trains

Looking gray in the rain,

as they stand disarrayed

oh, but people look well in the dark



And if you close the door

the night could last forever

Leave the sunshine out

and say hello to never



All the people are dancing

and they're having such fun

I wish it could happen to me



Cause if you close the door

I'd never have to see the day again

I'd never have to see the day again,

once more

I'd never have to see the day again
