Ray Price - Girl At Night lyrics

A girl in the night

She lives her life in honky tonks

and the crowded backstreet bars

A world of make believe that knows

no sun no moon or stars

Just a glitter of a great white way

and the glair of city lights

Where the music's loud she's in the crowd

a lonely 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 those shadows hide her empty pride

a lonely girl in the night

[ steel ]

I watch her sit there so lonely

as she lights her cigarette

And the smoke rings rise but in her eyes

oh it seems to be such a regret

Yes she's there to tempt her lover

and that dress that hugs her tight

With a glass of wine to pass a time

just a lonely 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 those shadows hide her empty pride

a lonely girl in the night
