Written by Neil Diamond

Daytime turns me off, and I don't mean maybe

Nine-to-five ain't takin' me where I'm bound

When it's done, I run out to see my baby

We got groovin' when the sun goes down

I thank the Lord for the night time

To forget the day

A day of up-, uptight time

Baby, chase it away

I get relexation

It's a time to groove



I thank the Lord for the night time

I thank the Lord for you



I'll talk about plans now Baby, I got plenty

Nothing ever seems to turn out the way it should

Talk about money, girl, I ain't got any

Seems like just one time I'm feeling good



I thank the Lord for the night time

To forget the day

A day of up-, uptight time

Baby, chase it away

I get relexation

It's a time to groove



I thank the Lord for the night time

I thank the Lord for you
