(Music: Carl Wilson, lyrics: Myrna Smith)
|
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
|
