Tekst piosenki

język tekstu: angielski
Whenever dark has fallen You know the spirit of the party Starts to come alive Until the day is dawning You can throw out all your blues And hit the city lights 'Cause there's music in the air And lots of lovin' everywhere So gimme the night Gimme the night You need the evening action A place to dine, a glass of wine A little late romance It's a chain reaction You'll see the people of the world Coming out to dance 'Cause there's music in the air And lots of lovin' everywhere So gimme the night Gimme the night So come on out tonight And we'll lead the others On a ride through paradise And if you feel all right Then we can be lovers 'Cause I see that starlight Look in your eyes Don't you know we can fly Just gimme the night Gimme the night 'Cause there's music in the air And lots of lovin' everywhere So gimme the night Gimme the night So come on out tonight And we'll lead the others On a ride through paradise And if you feel all right Then we can be lovers 'Cause I see that starlight Look in your eyes Don't you know we can fly And if we stay together We'll feel the rhythm of the evening Taking us up high Never mind the weather We'll be dancing in the street Until the morning light 'Cause there's music in the air And lots of lovin' everywhere So gimme the night Gimme the night Gimme the night Gimme the night Gimme the night Gimme the night Gimme the night So, gimme the night
