Dark night, dark night
La de dum dum
How often you visit
La de dum dum dum
Here you come and off you go
Totally uninvited
La de dum dum dum
What am I to do with you
Except to welcome you once more
La de dum dum dum dum dum
Am I dark or am I not
La de dum dum dum dum dum
Though the door is mine but you have the keys
La de dum dum dum dum dum
How real are you
How could I not greet you
La de dum dum dum dum dum
Come on in and have some tea
The sofa’s nice and comfy!
Dark night, dark night
La de dum dum dum
You can stay for as long you wish
Since not a courtesy call you give anyway
La de dum dum dum dum dum
Your presence clear and crisp
Oh dear, how dandy can you be!
La de dum dum dum
La de dum dum
‘here we go again – another exciting ride!’
is all that’s in my mind
Dark night, dark night
La de dum dum dum
Indeed a great companion you are
Mending your nose into my affairs
I just so understand you by now
La de dum dum dum
La de dum dum dum
In my mundane chores
Like an old friend really you show me your concerns
La de dum dum dum
La de dum dum
How could I not kiss your lips?
La de dum dum dum
La de dum dum
How can I wish for your departure?
You are like a force on your own
A touch and a go
It melts me in the core
Despite what it feels somehow
I smile at you anyway
La de dum dum dum
La de dum dum
No longer am I caught by your unwarranted visit
La de dum dum dum dum dum dum
Do what you must
I know it’s your job
You are greeted, can’t you see?
I see you, Dark night, and I hear you once more
La de dum dum dum dum dum
You need not believe me, my dear old friend
La de dum dum dum dum dum
Your presence, O’ Lord, what sweet gift you bring!
And I love you so, anyway…
