One Night in the City

Oh, Johnny was a dark child He was promised to us all But rides in the night, But can lift you out of sight when they call, that's all My Sally was a princess And she was chosen for the crown But chains can't stop the sound Of one night in the city One night looking pretty Then someone opened doorways And Johnny slipped away Running for the bright, Where dark is always light But there's no day, no way The princess saw the dark child And the dark child said her name Come steal away, we'll play the game Do you watch, do you see Do you know the people in me I'm the bite, I'm the bark, I'm the scream I'm you poor, I'm you sure I'm you holy, I'm you pure I can tell you tales you just might not believe One night in the city, one night looking pretty One night in the city, one night looking pretty (One night) The children shared the wonder Of the leather and the lace But one child went away, And one child stayed to play For one night in the city One night looking pretty yeah One night in the city One night looking pretty yeah But chains don't make the wall And dreams lay where they fall Darkness in the night when dreams make up the light One night in the city, one night looking pretty yeah One night in the city, feeling pretty, pretty in the city One night in the city One night, one night, one night, one night One night in the city One night, one night One child went away and one child stayed to play Chains don't make the wall, dreams are lay just where they fall In the city, one night in the city --- One Night In The City - Dio
