When the Night Comes - Alan Merrill

I know Kyoto well as a foreigner can

No gaijin really knows Japan

We can walk the streets

Take in the view

The Kamogawa flows true

I’d love to show it to you

When the night comes

I’m going to stand there

In the moonlight with you

We’re going to sleep

Under the dark sky too

Stars a rising

When the night comes

The streets of Paris

hey’ve got something

I love the atmosphere

In spring

Soul kissing by the stony

Banks of the Seine

Left Bank and perfect rain

I want to go there again

When the night comes

I’m going to stand there

In the moonlight with you

We’re going to sleep

Under the dark sky too

Stars a rising

When the night comes

Everybody knows

It’s better in the midnight hour

Wilson Pickett says it’s better

In the midnight hour

When the night comes

I’m going to stand there

In the moonlight with you

We’re going to sleep

Under the dark sky too

Stars a rising

When the night comes

I want to be there

When the night comes

I want to be there

I’ve got to be there

When the night comes

When the night comes
