Light in the night

LIGHT IN THE NIGHT.

Oh, it’s time to leave
We must say goodnight.
Hope that everythin’s all right
Hope that you can see some light
In the night.

I see you in the candlelight
And I want to hold you tightly
Your blue eyes shine so brightly
Yet my soul is filled with fright.

There’s so much we can’t remake
And I fear that something will break
So we’d better stay awake
‘Cause we’ve got so much at stake.

Man may not have created himself
Life has little meaning in itself
But once you’ve got it: Use your sense
For hurting others there’s no defence.

Oh, it’s time to leave
We must say goodnight.
Hope that everythin’s all right
Hope that you can see some light
In the night.

Man may not have created himself
Life has little meaning in itself
It’s a life you should not abuse
For hurtin’ others there’s no excuse.

Oh, it’s time to leave
We must say goodnight.
Hope that everythin’s all right
Hope that you can see the light
In the night.

Finn Langgaard, August 1977
