CHEAT THE NIGHT


(Deborah Allen - Rafe VanHoy)


The sun is going down now sinking like my heart

Nights are getting longer now that we're apart

Darkness is a prison that holds me with your memory

This time I'm getting out before it comes and turns the key


I'm going to cheat the night

So I can make it until the morning's light

Cheat the night


So I'm dusting off my courage painting on a smile

Gonna try to find somebody to hold me for awhile

I don't need the moon reminding me that you're gone

Even if I'm lonely alone


Maybe if the evening provides me with somebody new

I can make them think I'm finally getting over you

I can cheat the night

So I can make them think I'm doing alright
