[Verse 1]
California sunset
You walked in the bar, I lit your cigarette
Do you remember
Dancing at the Holiday Inn?
Your fingers through my belt loops
And my lips on your skin
Shooting stars and satellites
Shinin' down on you and I

[Chorus]
Lost in the night
Oh darling, I was right there holding you tight
Oh baby, when the sun came up, you whispered goodbye
Now you're lost in the night

[Verse 2]
Little bar in Marina Del Rey
You turned the radio off but I can still hear the song playing
You laughed at me when I got the words wrong
I would've bribed God just to hold back the dawn

[Chorus]
Lost in the night
Oh darling, I was right there holding you tight
Oh baby, when the sun came up, you whispered goodbye
You were lost in the night
[Bridge]
Is there a melody to keep your heart beating
And take you back to the time

[Chorus]
We were lost in the night?
Oh darling, do you ever go there, holding you tight?
Oh baby, when the sun came up, you whispered goodbye
You were lost in the night
