I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me Still here we are, both of us lonely Longing for shelter from all that we see Why should we worry, no one will care Look at the stars so far away We've got tonight Who needs tomorrow? We've got tonight Why don't you stay? Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely All of my hopes, fading away I've longed for love, like everyone else does I know I'll keep searching, even after today So that there it is We've got it all now And here we are What do you say? We've got tonight Who needs tomorrow? We've got tonight Why don't you stay? I know it's late, I know you're weary I know your plans don't include me Still here we are, both of us lonely Both of us lonely We've got tonight Who needs tomorrow? Let's make it last Let's find a way Turn out the light Come take my hand now We've got tonight Why don't you stay? Why don't you stay? |

As the snow flies
On a cold and grey Chicago morning Another little baby child is born In the ghetto In the ghetto And his mama cries 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need Is another hungry mouth to feed In the ghetto In the ghetto People don't you understand This child needs a helping hand He's gonna be an angry young man someday Take a look at you and me Are we too blind to see? Do we simply turn our heads And look the other way And the world turns And a hungry little boy with the runny nose Lays on the street as the cold wind blows In the ghetto In the ghetto And his hunger burns As he starts to roam the streets at night And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight In the ghetto In the ghetto Then one night in desperation The young man breaks away He buys a gun, steals a car Tries to run but he don't get far And his mama cries As a crowd gathers round an angry young man Face down on the street with a gun in his hand In the ghetto In the ghetto As her young man dies (in the ghetto) On a cold and grey Chicago mornin Another little baby child is born In the ghetto In the ghetto And his mama cries In the ghetto In the ghetto |
