[Verse 1: Buck Dharma]
That night, her kiss told me it was over
I walked out late into the dark
The misty gloom seems to soak up my sorrow
The further I went on, I felt a spreading calm
Then suddenly my eyes were bathed in a light
And the lovely lady in white was by my side
She said, "Like me, I see you're walking alone -
Won't you please stay?"
I couldn't look away

[Chorus: Buck Dharma]
She said I love the night
The day is okay and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away
I love the night
There's so much that I can show and give to you
If you will welcome me tonight
If only you had been there, my dear
We could have shared this together

[Verse 2: Buck Dharma]
No mortal was meant to know such wonder
One look in the mirror told me so
Come darkness, I'll see her again
Yes I'm gonna go, 'cause now I know
[Chorus: Buck Dharma]
I love the night
The day is okay and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away

[Outro: Buck Dharma]
I love the night
I love the night
I love the night
