Lyrics
Hope the tears I cried today,
go away,
so I can be okay.
Hope the fears I feel tonight,
go away,
so I can be alright.
How long can this night last?
How long can this night last?
Sometimes I feel so left out,
so alone,
I wanna run back home.
Sometimes I'm so unreal,
I feel, feel I can't go on.
How long can this night last?
How long can this night last?
You know I love ya, honey.
Though it seems,
like a dream.
You know I won't let go.
I'll stay, give my heart and soul.
So tell me,
how long can this night last?
How long can this night last?
(Spoken Bridge)
You know, it seems strange for me to sit here with nothin' out on my own.
But someday, somewhere, somehow, some way,
I'll come to you,
and you won't have to be alone.
But tell me,
how long can this night last?
How long can this night last?
How long can this night last?
How long can this night last?
