On a Night Like This Songtext
von Barry Mann

The moon is out, the stars are high
But I am such a lonely guy
A party′s going on, I hear the music playing
And up against the shade, I see the couples swaying
But that's one party I gotta miss
Why must I be alone on a night like this?
And at the movie show, the feature′s soon beginning
The kids are holding hands, the lights are slowly dimming
But that's one movie I gotta miss
Why must I be alone on a night like this?


Since we're apart, can′t go no place
All I know are lonely nights while teardrops stain my face
And somewhere in the night, you′re with your brand new love, dear
And you'll kiss him goodnight with lips I still dream of, dear
And that′s one kiss that I'm gonna miss
Why must I be alone on a night like this?
Why must I be alone on a night like this?
Why must I be alone on a night like this?
Why must I be alone on a night like this?
Why must I be alone on a night like this?
