Lyrics

It was 9-29, 9-29 back street big city
The sun was going down, there was music all around
It felt so right

It was one of those nights, one of those nights when you feel the world stop turnin'
You were standing there, there was music in the air
I should have been away, but I knew I'd have to stay

Chorus

Last train to london, just headin' out
Last train to london, just leavin' town
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you
Let the music play on down the line tonight

It was one of those nights, one of those nights when you feel the fire is burnin'
Everybody was there, everybody to share
It felt so right

There you were on your own, lookin' like you were the only one around
I had to be with you, nothin' else that I could do
I should have been away, but I knew I'd have to stay

Repeat chorus

Underneath a starry sky, time was still but hours must really have rushed by
I didn't realize, but love was in your eyes
I really should have gone, but love went on and on..

Repeat chorus
