I don't mean for this to be Country...but it's leaning that direction.

(verse) | |
Was it the buzz-saw hum of the stadium lights | |
Or the earthy drone of cicadas in flight | |
That brought back strong the memory - | |
'That summer night - just you and me? | |
Walking 'round the block to see | |
Who else was out besides you and me. | |
Our footsteps soft in the gentle breeze, | |
The sound of crickets' chirp through the trees. | |
(bridge) | |
Walking up and down that hill, | |
Oh how I can hear it still! | |
Roar of distant cars scream through the night. | |
Hometown team 'gainst the champions. | |
'Cheered until the game was done. | |
'Think we won! | |
(chorus) | |
Oh all the sounds in the night | |
I'll never hear again! Oh no! | |
Oh-oh, the sounds in the night. | |
(verse) | |
As we turned back home, headed straight to bed, | |
I never thought - so soon! - you'd be gone and dead. | |
Oh what we had was supposed to last. | |
But around the bend, coming way too fast | |
Drove that car, spraying dirt and dust. | |
And though we jumped real far, it came right at us. | |
I heard you for the last that day, | |
'Sound of your breathing fading away. | |
(bridge) | |
I'm feeling up and down again. | |
For ever I will see them spin, | |
Tires squealing, headlights in the night. | |
No more soft and gentle sounds. | |
In the house you'd walk around | |
Lights are down. | |
(chorus) | |
Oh all the sounds in the night | |
I'll never hear again! Oh no! | |
I miss your sounds in the night. |
