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
She said I love the night
The day is OK and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away
I love the night
There's so much 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
No mortal was meant to see 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
She said I love the night
The day is OK 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
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
She said I love the night
The day is OK and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away
I love the night
There's so much 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
No mortal was meant to see 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
She said I love the night
The day is OK 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

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever! its about the point in a relationship when a person knows that its over, but then has nowhere to go afterwards. So in sorrow he walks around during the night, which in its beauty has the calming effect on anyone, and he ends up meeting this girl who is in the same dillemma, she has too, been dumped by her partner, these two walk around and reminisce about the good times they had with their spuses, and how much they miss them, and they both wonder why they were really dumped, but in reality both know that they will never come back to them. So each night they walk around in the beauty of the night and grow closer to each other in the romance of the darkness. Besides this i also believe that this song is about how inevitable true love is. It can be found in the oddest places at the oddest times. If one relationship doesnt work out, then you shouldnt give up, you shouldnt do nothing but look for your true love either. you should go about your buisness casually, and then one day, one way or another, you will find the one, and then you will be eternally blessed.
always though it was about being turned into a vampire. i like your comment!
@mingoesbueno Oh NO absolutely NOT! I was emailing Eric Bloom on and off for awhile and asked him if I was right (of course I was) that this was yes a love song but also about vampires!!! Eric is the rhythm guitarist for BOC. Even though I am completely aware of vampire symbology -that it IS about vampires!! BOC has numerous vampire and supernatura, as well as HP Lovecraft themed songs.
