I lose my power when the sun comes up I die a little in daylight How can I keep the life that I still got? Can I stay the night? It's dark but I see far enough to run It's cold but I burn with desire And though I can't deny the rising sun I won't need its light to guide me If I can learn to keep a fire Stay the night Does something to my soul That makes me feel alive for a little while Stay the night I close my eyes and know That I can feel alive if I stay the night Do you want the world to comfort you? Do you want the world to care? Are you held back by what you hold onto? Left for dead by answered prayers Then let the stars direct your destiny And let the moon control the tide But don't put all your faith in what you see And when heaven cannot help you Stop praying to the sky Stay the night Does something to my soul That makes me feel alive for a little while Stay the night I close my eyes and know That I can feel alive if I stay the night There's heartache in the shadows And I used to try to kill it But nothing makes the pain all go away There's livin' after twilight If you're not afraid to live it And wait to see the sun 'til break 'a day So, stay the night Does something to my soul That makes me feel alive for a little while Stay the night I close my eyes and know That I can feel alive if I stay the night
