lyrics

I met her in a dance cafe
All she wanted was to dance the night away
We felt the music and we felt the heat
As we moved into the street

She took me to her apartment
And there the passion began to stir
We made love in the darkness
And from the darkness I heard from her

I want to be a part of you
Know the art of you
Be something very special in the heart of you
You will be the one I build my hopes upon
But let’s don't get involved

At night the city is a beautiful place
See the happy people with the happy smiling face
Everybody is so friendly here
This town is smaller than it appears

Making friends is so easy
I'm making new ones all of the time
Some of them think I am teasing
When I lay my heart right on the line
