We meet after midnight right by 2^nd Avenue

With your hair down you look so good walkin’ 

In your high heeled shoes

We move west past the Bowery 

I told my friends I was in bed

But we end up alone on my rooftop 

Drinking cheap champagne instead 

And my mind doesn’t know what it’s found 

As the lights go down

So let those cards fall where they may 

Save tomorrow for another day

’Cause I wanna to stay up all night

When I’m with you after midnight

Oh honey can’t you see

There’s something about you

That brings out music in me?

We were struck by impressionism 

Like the French taught us how to feel

You tell me how you like Degas’ dancers

As I was asking which piece you wanna steal

Later we frightened the tourists 

With their cameras in Central Park

Riding by in those tacky carriages 

As we retreat southward in the dark

And my mind doesn’t know what it’s found 

As the lights go down

So let those cards fall where they may 

Save tomorrow for another day

’Cause I wanna stay up all night

When I’m with you after midnight

Oh honey can’t you see

There’s something about you

That brings out music in me?

If you could look inside my head 

You’d see how you make it start

The notes you echo in 

Melodies in the dark 

Melodies in the dark

We were born in different countries 

But I want you to know 

That when I see you after midnight 

It’s so hard to let you go

And my heart doesn’t know what it’s found 

As the lights go down

So let those cards fall where they may 

Save tomorrow for another day

’Cause I wanna stay up all night

When I’m with you after midnight

Oh honey can’t you see

That there’s something about you

That does something to me?

I wanna stay up all night

When I’m with you after midnight

Oh honey can’t you see

There’s something about you

That brings out music in me?

Oh something ’bout you

Is like a mystery
