about

When Music is your escape

lyrics

A HOT SUMMER'S NIGHT,
DAYS ARE GETTING LONGER.
I'M DRIVING IN MY CAR,
THE MUSIC'S GETTING LOUDER.

AND COME THE NIGHT-TIME
WHEN THE DAY IS NEARLY OVER
THE LIGHTS GO DOWN, I WAIT AROUND,
THE MUSIC TAKES ME OVER.

A HEAVENLY SOUND,
IT GIVES ME SUCH A FEELING,
THEN IT TAKES ME AWAY,
IT'S THE ONE THING I BELIEVE IN.

AND COME THE NIGHT-TIME
WHEN THE DAY IS NEARLY OVER
THE LIGHTS GO DOWN, I WAIT AROUND,
I PICK UP MY GUITAR AND PLAY.

I'VE SEEN IT IN MY MIND,
HEARD THE PEOPLE SCREAMING.
YOU'LL SEE ME THERE SOMEDAY
AND KNOW THAT I'M NOT DREAMING.

AND COME THE NIGHT-TIME
WHEN THE DAY IS NEARLY OVER
THE LIGHTS GO DOWN, I WAIT AROUND,
THE MUSIC TAKES ME OVER.

WHEN I'M GETTING OLD
I'LL KEEP IT IN MY MEMORY,
‘COS WHEREVER I GO
MY MUSIC'S ALWAYS WITH ME.

AND COME MY LIFETIME
WHEN MY DAYS ARE NEARLY OVER
MY LIGHTS GO DOWN, I’LL WAIT AROUND,
I’LL PICK UP MY GUITAR AND PLAY.
