I saw that sparkle in your eyes on that Thursday night
There was a glimmer of the skies in the brightening lights
The bar was full to the brim with them college kids
But we danced and danced and made the most of it
City lights… we'll be dancing in the dark
The intersections are packed with cars
It's three in the morning but it feels like it's two
Where are we now my darling, I haven't a clue
I wake up hearing the pan sizzle as you make us eggs
You're wearing my shirt, it's too big I only see your legs
You give me breakfast as you put on your business vest
I say don't go there's still so much of us left
City lights… we'll be dancing in the dark
The intersections are packed with cars
It's three in the morning but it feels like it's two
Where are we now my darling, I haven't a clue
I looked outside the window, just to see you walk away
We imagined something in those hours we played
I won't see you no more but I'll crave
To see that sparkle in your eyes at a later day
It's hard to think that it was just one night and we're strangers
Felt the love for a brief moment and now we're in danger
Of our hearts being torn from the lack of care
This type of trust looks more and more rare
City lights… we'll be dancing in the dark
The intersections are packed with cars
It's three in the morning but it feels like it's two
Where are we now my darling, I haven't a clue
