Up all night I could not sleep
|
The whiskey that I drank was cheap
|
With shakin' hands I went and I lit up my last cigarette
|
Well the sun came, night had fled
|
And sleepy eyed I reached my bed
|
I saw you sleepy dreamin' there all covered and warm
|
South City midnight lady
|
I'm much obliged indeed
|
You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need
|
I thought there was no reason
|
For all these things I do
|
But the smile that sent out returned with you
|
|
When day has left the night behind
|
And shadows roll across my mind
|
I sometimes find myself alone out walkin' the street
|
Yes, and when I'm feelin' down and blue
|
Then all I do is think of you
|
And all my foolish problems seem to fade away
|
|
South City midnight lady
|
I'm much obliged indeed
|
You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need
|
I thought there was no reason
|
For all these things I do
|
But the smile that sent out returned with you
|
