Morning is born on the sidewalk
Abandoned for someone to take
Who will come claiming this sweet child
Is no one in the city awake
Ill take her hand and I'll kiss it
But when I feel the fading light
It's good-bye and God speed her
Tonight I won't need her
I'll be in paradise tonight
Sweet afternoon she's a mistress
She knows exactly how to be day
Laughing as she walks down the sidewalk
Smiling as she goes the other way
I'll take her hand and I'll kiss it
But when I feel the fading light
Good-bye and God speed you
Tonight I won't need you
I'll be in paradise tonight
Sunset forget the crazy feelings
Go down and give up the day
Tomorrow morning my head will be reeling
But tonight I'm gonna do it my own way
So I'll take your hand and I'll kiss you
But when I feel the fading light
It's good-bye and God speed you
Tonight I won't need you
I'll be in paradise tonight
I'll be in paradise tonight
I'll be in paradise tonight
