Because The Night - Patti LuPone

Take me now baby here as I am

Pull me close try an understand

I work all day out in the hot sun

Stay with me now till the mornin' comes

Come on now try and understand

The way I feel when I’m in your hands

Take me now as the sun descends

They can’t hurt you now

They can’t hurt you now

They can’t hurt you now

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us What I got I have earned

What I’m not I have learned

Desire and hunger is the fire I breathe

Just stay in my bed till the morning comes

Come on now try and understand

The way I feel when I’m in your hands

Take me now as the sun descends

They can’t hurt you now

They can’t hurt you now

They can’t hurt you now

Because the night…

Your love is here and now

The vicious circle turns and burns without

Though I cannot live forgive me now

The time has come to take this moment and

They can’t hurt you now
