[Intro] (x3) Aadd9 / [Verse 1] When the day is done and there’s nowhere to run And the people of the city have all lost and won In your city dress you stand you stare And you smoke another cigarette and comb your hair Aadd9 Emaj7/G# And the light that shines Paints a trace of sadness Aadd9 Emaj7/G# On the street I wait F#m7 B Aadd9 But I can’t seem to get to you [Verse 2] Oh you start to sway check your Cartier ’Cos it’s getting late you can’t afford to wait So you move along where it’s going on And the people of the night are playing ’till the dawn Aadd9 Emaj7/G# And the sun that shines Paints a trace of sadness Aadd9 Emaj7/G# In your eyes that cry Wishing and hoping Aadd9 Oh Oh [Chorus] Sweet sweet is the night Now you are near Dark dark were the days They disappear Sweet sweet is the night Now you are near [Verse 3] Well you did your thing and you lost your wings And you hurt so bad you lost everything And the tears that fall on the city wall Will fade away with the rays of morning Aadd9 Emaj7/G# Light that shines Paints a smile across your pretty face I know Everything is alright Aadd9 Yeah alright [Chorus] Sweet sweet is the night Now you are near Dark dark were the days They disappear Sweet sweet is the night Now you are near [Outro] Sweet sweet is the night Now you are near Dark dark were the days They disappear Sweet sweet is the night Now you are near Now you are near

La chanson évoque une atmosphère dans laquelle la nuit devient un refuge, un moment où les préoccupations du jour s'apaisent. On y parle de solitude au milieu d'une ville vibrante, où les gens cherchent à échapper à leurs douleurs et leurs pertes. La protagoniste, à travers des gestes simples, comme fumer ou se coiffer, exprime une mélancolie, tout en espérant que la proximité d'un être cher apportera réconfort. Le texte évoque aussi un contraste entre des jours sombres et l'apaisement que la nuit peut offrir. Ce passage suggère un cheminement, une quête de mieux-être, où les souvenirs tristes se dissipent lentement. Les larmes, bien que présentes, trouvent finalement une forme de rédemption à la lumière de nouveaux départs.
