My nights were getting better

Without a lover

The feeling of peace i had

All by myself

Free to fill my space with

Things i really wanted

Giving no excuses i even had my own place

Had my own place



Those long nights

Those bright lights

Those carefree days

Those long nights

Those bright lights

I tell you i got it made



Never ever realized that i was lonely

'cause working on the road can be

It can be an escape

Dinner in a one night stop

Just meet me in the hall

Take a number in my black book

And promise to call, promise to call



Those long nights

Those bright lights

Those carefree days

Those long nights

Those bright lights

I tell you i got it made



Then i saw a bright face

Lit by a candle

Sitting in the bar alone

She filled the whole place



The magic of her presence

Who could walk up to her

Who would ever dare to give

This woman-child a chase



Thought my nights were getting better

Just living by myself

But i got hooked this time

Now we got our own place

We got our own place



Those long nights

Those bright lights

Those carefree days

Those long nights

Those bright lights

I tell you i got it made



And i love those long nights
