## Kiss the Night
Through fingers of ordinary days
You watch the world slip by
In rushing haste, you lose your dreams
Your laughter makes you shy
So you would rather never laugh
Than risk a moment's fool
Try just once
Unveil your face
And look straight at the sun
Be mesmerized
Just simply so
And let your heart be stunned
Don't fear to fear
When tears must fall
Go chase the wind through meadows
Kiss the night
Upon its highest star
Forget yourself and dance
You wear a coat of gray
You blend so easily
Into the ghostly sober dawn
You calculate each move
In case someone might see
Who you really are beneath it all
Try just once
Unveil your face
And look straight at the sun
Be mesmerized
Just simply so
And let your heart be stunned
Don't fear to fear
When tears must fall
Go chase the wind through meadows
Kiss the night
Upon its highest star
Forget yourself
Try just once
Unveil your face
And look straight at the sun
Be mesmerized
Just simply so
And let your heart be stunned
Don't fear to fear
When tears must fall
Go chase the wind through meadows
Kiss the night
Upon its highest star
Forget yourself
Try just once
## Kiss the Night
Through fingers of these common days
You watch the world slip by
In haste you let your dreams drift away
Your laughter makes you shy
You'd rather never smile at all
Than risk appearing small
So try just once
To show your face
And look into the sun
Let wonder wake
For wonder's sake
And let your heart come undone
Don't be afraid to feel afraid
When tears are what you need
Go seek the wind in open fields
Kiss the night upon the highest star
Forget yourself and dance
You wrap yourself in shades of gray
And fade from every sight
Into the ghostly break of day
Where nothing feels quite right
You rehearse each word and every move
So none can see what's real inside
So try just once
To show your face
And look into the sun
Let wonder wake
For wonder's sake
And let your heart come undone
Don't be afraid to feel afraid
When tears are what you need
Go seek the wind in open fields
Kiss the night upon the highest star
Forget yourself...
Try just once
To show your face
And look into the sun
Let wonder wake
For wonder's sake
And let your heart come undone
Don't be afraid to feel afraid
When tears are what you need
Go seek the wind in open fields
Kiss the night upon the highest star
Forget yourself...
Try just once
## Kiss the Night
You watch the world as it drifts by,
Through fingers of the days gone by.
Losing your dreams in the hurried race,
A smile feels foreign on your face.
You'd rather learn to hold your tongue,
Than have your foolish laughter sung.
But try, just for once, to bare your soul,
And turn your face and be made whole.
To be amazed, for no reason why,
To let a feeling flood your eyes.
Don't be afraid to feel your fear,
And if you want to, cry a tear.
Go run and find the wind's embrace,
Kiss the night in that starry space,
Forget yourself, and dance.
You wear a coat of muted grey,
To blend into the sober day,
A dawn that's haunting and too clear…
You plan each gesture, hide each fear,
So no one ever gets to see
The one you were born to be.
So try, just for once, to bare your soul,
And let the sunlight make you whole.
To be amazed, for no reason why,
To let a feeling lift you high.
Don't be afraid to feel your fear,
And if you need to, shed a tear.
Go run and find the wind's embrace,
Kiss the night in that starry space,
Forget yourself…
Oh try, just for once, to bare your soul,
And let the sunlight make you whole.
To be amazed, for no reason why,
To let a feeling flood your eyes.
Don't be afraid to feel your fear,
And if you want to, cry a tear.
Go run and find the wind's embrace,
Kiss the night upon the highest star’s face…
Forget yourself…
Just for once…
## Kiss the Night
Through fingers of the everyday
You watch the world slip by
Dreams lost along the hurried way
Your laughter makes you shy
So you would rather stay withdrawn—
Than risk a reckless smile
Just once, try
Show who you are
And turn and face the sunrise
Let wonder take
Your open heart
And let tears fill your bright eyes
Don’t fear your fear
If you must, cry
Go chase the wandering sky
And kiss the night
The highest star
Forget yourself and dance
You wrap yourself in faded gray
And melt into the dawn
Each move rehearsed and played to hide
The face behind the calm
Shoulder the quiet, bear the mask—
So none will know your truth
But just this once,
Let down your guard,
And turn and face the sunrise
Let wonder take
Your open heart
And let tears fill your bright eyes
Don’t fear your fear
If you must, cry
Go chase the wandering sky
And kiss the night
The highest star
Forget yourself and dance
Just once, try
Show who you are
And turn and face the sunrise
Let wonder take
Your open heart
And let tears fill your bright eyes
Don’t fear your fear
If you must, cry
Go chase the wandering sky
And kiss the night
The highest star
Forget yourself—
Just once, try
## Kiss the Night
Through fingers of mundane days
You watch life fade,
Rushing, dreams escape your gaze.
Your laughter shames your heart,
So you choose silence,
Fearing foolishness instead.
Try just one time
To bare your face,
And look straight at the sun.
Be thrilled, amazed,
Just simply feel
Until your tears must run.
Don’t fear the fright,
If you must cry,
Chase the wind through open fields.
Kiss the night
On the highest star,
Lose yourself and dance.
You wear your cloak of gray,
Blending softly in,
In morning’s sober light.
Planning every move,
So no one ever sees
Who you truly are inside.
Try just one time
To bare your face,
And look straight at the sun.
Be thrilled, amazed,
Just simply feel
Until your tears must run.
Don’t fear the fright,
If you must cry,
Chase the wind through open fields.
Kiss the night
On the highest star,
Lose yourself again.
Try just one time
To bare your face,
And look straight at the sun.
Be thrilled, amazed,
Just simply feel
Until your tears must run.
Don’t fear the fright,
If you must cry,
Chase the wind through open fields.
Kiss the night
On the highest star,
Lose yourself tonight—
Try just one time.
## Pocałuj noc
Przez palce zwykłych dni
Oglądasz świat
W pośpiechu gubiąc sny
Twój śmiech zawstydza cię
Więc wolisz nie śmiać się
Niż chwile śmiesznym być
Spróbuj choć raz
Odsłonić twarz
I spojrzeć prosto w słońce
Zachwycić się
Po prostu tak
I wzruszyć jak najmocniej
Nie bój się bać
Gdy chcesz to płacz
Idz wiatru szukać w polu
Pocałuj noc
W najwyższą z gwiazd
Zapomnij się i tańcz
Zakładasz szary płaszcz
Łatwo wtapiasz się
W upiornie trzeźwy świt
Obmyślasz każdy gest
Na wypadek by
Nikt nie odgadł kim
Naprawdę jesteś
Spróbuj choć raz
Odsłonić twarz
I spojrzeć prosto w słońce
Zachwycić się
Po prostu tak
I wzruszyć jak najmocniej
Nie bój się bać
Gdy chcesz to płacz
Idz szukać wiatru w polu
Pocałuj noc
W najwyższą z gwiazd
Zapomnij się
Spróbuj choć raz
Odsłonić twarz
I spojrzeć prosto w słońce
Zachwycić się
Po prostu tak
I wzruszyć jak najmocniej
Nie bój się bać
Gdy chcesz to płacz
Idz szukać wiatru w polu
Pocałuj noc
W najwyższą z gwiazd
Zapomnij się
Spróbuj choć raz
