Girl In the Night A

She lives her life in honky tonks
And crowded back street bars
A world of make-believe that knows
No sun, no moon or stars
Just the glitter of the great white way
And the glare of city lights
Where music's loud, she's in the crowd
A girl in the night

I wonder if she's thinking
Of dreams that didn't last
I wonder if she's haunted
By heartaches from the past
Perhaps there is a story
Of a love that wasn't right
Now shadows hide her empty pride
The girl in the night

She's sitting there so lonely
As she lights a cigarette
The smoke rings rise, but in her eyes
There seems to be regret
Is she there to tempt a lover
In a dress that hugs her tight
A glass of wine to pass the time
A girl in the night
