"The Night Is Still Young"

by Billy Joel

from Greatest Hits Vol II



I'm young enough to still see the passionate boy that I used to be

But I'm old enough to say I got a good look at the other side

I know we got to work real hard, maybe even for the rest of our lives

But right now I just want to take what I can get tonight

While the night is still young

I want to keep making love to you while the night is still young



I'd like to settle down, get married and maybe have a child someday

I can see a time coming when I'm gonna throw my suitcase out

No more separations where you have to say goodnight to a telephone

Baby I've decided that ain't what this life is all about, oh

While the night is still young, while the night is still young

I want to try and make the world brand new while the night is still young



Rock and roll music is the only thing I ever gave a damn about

There was something that was missing but I never used to wonder why

Now I know you're the one I need to make things right again

And I may lose the battle but you're giving me the will to try, oh

While the night is still young, because the night is still young

I've got a lot of catching up I've got to do while the night is still young

While the night is still young

I want to try and make the world brand new while the night is still young
