Intro: (x2) verse 1 True romance in the dead of the night The breeze in the air, it almost glistens And the earth is a glorious sight When nobody speaks and nobody listens Pre-Chorus You're gonna have a night to remember You're gonna be a real, live, hot contender Sleeptalking in the dead of the night Cold coffee in the china Friends talking in the dead of the night Promises, it's always the way Promises, it's always the way Break verse 2 Running off by the light of the moon The hand on your heart is almost hidden You try from your favourite room To get at the truth but it's forbidden Pre-Chorus You've never been a shoulder to cry on The lover's pledge is not to be relied on Sleeptalking in the dead of the night Cold coffee in the china Friends talking in the dead of the night Promises, it's always the way N.C. Promises, it's always the way Solo verse 3 Old friends in a sepia frame The proud photograph, the truth it measures Is why in humanity's name You take from the wounded personal treasures Pre-Chorus You've never been a friend to depend on You've never understood my view of heaven Solo verse 4 True romance in the dead of the night The breeze in the air, it almost glistens And the earth is a glorious sight When nobody speaks and nobody listens Pre-Chorus You're gonna have a night to remember N.C. You're gonna be real, live, hot contender Sleeptalking in the dead of the night Cold coffee in the china Friends talking in the dead of the night Promises, it's always the way Promises, it's always the way Promises, it's always the way Promises, it's always the way
