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.
