I know the party is over but right now I wish I could stay
I’d like to say why don’t you come over but I should just be on my way.
So turn off those neons and pour one real strong, this night is gonna be long.
I’ll pack up my memories and take’em all home and I’ll watch the sun rise alone.

From the first song of the evening to the last drink in the glass
Some things are too good to last.

So slow your life is unwinding and it hurts every time you look back
So turn off that juke box and give me one last call.
This night is gonna be long.
I’ll pack up my memories and take’em all home
and I’ll watch the sun rise alone.

Bridge:
   I look out my window that faces the East
   and wait for the dawn to resuce me
   I used to think that I wanted to be free
   Now it don’t mean that much to me.

Things could be worse this ain’t so bad
You just learn to swallow your pride
But all of the people in this lonely crowd
Can’t shake this hollow feeling inside.
So tell one more story and put your walkin’ shoes on
This night is gonna be long
I’ll pack up my memories and take’em all home
And I’ll watch the sun rise alone.
