Lou Reed
After Hours
[Intro]
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
If you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
And say hello to never

[Chorus]
All the people are dancing and they're having such fun
I wish it could happen to me
But if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again

[Verse 2]
If you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the wineglass out
And drink a toast to never

[Chorus]
Oh, someday I know someone will look into my eyes
And say hello, you're my very special one
But if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again
[Bridge]
Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars
And the people on subways and trains
Looking gray in the rain as they stand disarrayed
Oh, but people look well in the dark

[Verse 3]
And if you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
And say hello to never

[Chorus]
All the people are dancing and they're having such fun
I wish it could happen to me
'Cause if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again

[Outro]
I'd never have to see the day again, once more
I'd never have to see the day again
