Love me tender, love me true
Ooh, baby, what a song could do
We were sharp like needles in the dark, no question mark

My friend billy was one of a kind
Growin' up and runnin' wild
We could take a sunset and make it real
We stood together on the edge of a knife
Fools to be friends, brothers for life

And we have seen the night run
It's a thousand miles away
Yes, we have seen the night run
It passed us by in just one day

Used to say: Well, it's me and you
Ooh we could make dreams come true
And we put some magic in this night, oh, feels so right

Came across your photograph
Everything was just a laugh
Where do you go when you reach the end
Into the night we would explode
With hand on my heart, rules of the road

And we have seen the night run
It's a thousand miles away
Yes, we have seen the night run
It passed us by in just one day

And we have seen the night run
It's a thousand miles away
Yes, we have seen the night run
It passed us by in just one day

Big city lights they fade, then they go
Along with your sense of humor, no
Some people give up and lose the fight
We could prove it night after night after

And we have seen the night run
It's a thousand miles away
Yes, we have seen the night run
It passed us by in just one day

And we have seen the night run
It's a thousand miles away
Yes, we have seen the night run
It passed us by in just one day

And we have seen the night run
It's a thousand miles away
Yes, we have seen the night run
It passed us by in just one day
