IN THE DEPTH OF NIGHT

(From the London stage musical Around the World in 80 days, sung by Anthony Stewart Head as Phileas Phogg)

You won't hear me sigh, when we say goodbye
I won't find it hard to forget
memories will fade, quicker than the shade
and I won't waste a day in regret.....and yet

In the depth of night, I'll be thinking of her
walking where it's light, with the sunshine on her face
but in a place, so far
away from here.

And when it grows light, she'll be sleeping softly
In the depth of night, with the moonlight on her hair
and that is where, my thoughts
will stray from here.

In the light of day, there are distractions
of another world that may, have it's attractions
there'll be other roads to take, and different plans to lay
and others who will make the night seem bright as day

And in the depth of night,
it won't matter who was wrong, and who was right
for there'll be no fiery spark, to spoil the dark
in the depth of night.

By the early morning glow,
where nothing looks the same
I'll find it's time to go and play it safe again.

Still in the depth of night,
I'll recall her eyes both, angry and alight
and I think one may surmise
I'll miss those eyes in the the depth of night

Gives way to dawn and in it's brightening
one can banish the forlorn, as quick as lightening
but the very moment when, the nighttime falls again
until the early light comes creeping, someone somewhere won't be sleeping

In the depth of night, I may wonder what she's doing in the light
and from time to time if she,
might think of me
in the depth of night.
