If It Wasn’t for the Nights lyrics

I got appointments, work I have to do

keeping me so busy all the day through.

They’re the things that keep me from thinking of you.

Oh baby, I miss you so, I know I’m never gonna make it.

Oh, I’m so restless, I don’t care what I say,

and I lose my temper ten times a day.

Still, it’s even worse when the night’s on its way.

It’s bad, oh, so bad.

Somehow I’d be doing alright if it wasn’t for the nights.

(If it wasn’t for the nights, I think that I could make it)

I’d have courage left to fight if it wasn’t for the nights.

(If it wasn’t for the nights, I think that I could take it)

How I fear the time when shadows start to fall,

sitting here alone and staring at the wall.

Even I could see a light if it wasn’t for the nights.

(Even I could see a light, I think that I could make it)

Somehow I’d be doing alright if it wasn’t for the nights.

(If it wasn’t for the nights, I think that I could take it)

No-one to turn to, you know how it is.

I was not prepared for something like this.

Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss.

Oh baby, I feel so bad, I know I’m never gonna make it.

I got my business to help me through the day,

people I must write to, bills I must pay,

but everything’s so different when night’s on its way.

It’s bad, oh, so bad.

Somehow I’d be doing alright if it wasn’t for the nights.

(If it wasn’t for the nights, I think that I could make it)

I’d have courage left to fight if it wasn’t for the nights.

(If it wasn’t for the nights, I think that I could take it)

How I fear the time when shadows start to fall,

sitting here alone and staring at the wall.

Even I could see a light if it wasn’t for the nights.

(Even I could see a light, I think that I could make it)

Guess my future would look bright if it wasn’t for the nights.

(If it wasn’t for the nights, I think that I could make it)

If it wasn’t for the nights.

(If it wasn’t for the nights, I think that I could take it)

If it wasn’t for the nights.

(If it wasn’t for the nights, I think that I could make it)

Even I could see a light if it wasn’t for the nights.

(Even I could see a light, I think that I could make it)

Guess my future would look bright if it wasn’t for the nights.

(If it wasn’t for the nights, I think that I could take it.)

If it wasn’t for the nights.

(If it wasn’t for the nights, I think that I could make it)

If it wasn’t for the nights.

(If it wasn’t for the nights, I think that I could take it)

Even I could see a light if it wasn’t for the nights.

(Even I could see a light, I think that I could make it)

Guess my future would look bright if it wasn’t for the nights.
