Sam Cooke London by Night song lyrics

London by night is a wonderful sight

there is magic abrawl in the air

I'm often told that the street turn to gold

when the moon shines on circus and square

deep in the dark that envelops the park

there's a man and his cigarette's low

down by the Thames, lights that sparkle like gems

seem to wink at each girl and her boy

up comes the moon when the city's asleep

he's not alone for it sings

somewhere up there stands an angel to keep her watch

while each Londener dreams

my love and I saw the sun leave the sky

then we kissed in the fast fading light

most people say they love London by day

but lovers love London by night

most people they love London by day

but lovers love London by night
