My nights were getting better
Without a lover
The feeling of peace I had
All by myself
Free to fill my space with
Things I really wanted
Giving no excuses I even had my own place
Had my own place
Those long nights
Those bright lights
Those carefree days
Those long nights
Those bright lights
I tell you I got it made
Never ever realized that I was lonely
'cause working on the road can be
It can be an escape
Dinner in a one night stop
Just meet me in the hall
Take a number in my black book
And promise to call, promise to call
Those long nights
Those bright lights
Those carefree days
Those long nights
Those bright lights
I tell you I got it made
Then I saw a bright face
Lit by a candle
Sitting in the bar alone
She filled the whole place
The magic of her presence
Who could walk up to her
Who would ever dare to give
This woman-child a chase
Thought my nights were getting better
Just living by myself
But I got hooked this time
Now we got our own place
We got our own place
Those long nights
Those bright lights
Those carefree days
Those long nights
Those bright lights
I tell you I got it made
And I love those long nights
