Back in the summer of sixty-five
I was feeling more dead than alive
I was holding on to the radio
You know it really helped me get by
And, down the street she moved to the beat
Just an angel in her daddy's car
And through my life she cut like a knife
And I'm still walking around with the scars...

Somewhere in the night
She's reaching out and touching me
(Somewhere in the night)
Somewhere in the night
And I just can't let it go
Somewhere in the night...
Ooh, ooh in the night, yeah

Seventeen caught in between
What I was and what I wanted to be
I was listening to no one
And nobody was listening to me
Then she said, oh baby I know how you feel
And what you need is more than a friend
You know that the first time that love feels real
It can never come your way again...

Somewhere in the night
She's reaching out and touching me
(Somewhere in the night)
Somewhere in the night
And I just can't let it go

And after all my friends think I'm crazy
Living in the past
But all you get to keep are the memories
You gotta make the good ones last

Somewhere in the night
She's reaching out and touching me
(Somewhere in the night)
Somewhere in the night
And I just can't let it go
