The world is cold, the night is still 
The dream is old, and so's a thrill 
Some cool DJ, begins to play, a Wes Montgomerys score 
When you're all alone 
It's always four a.m. 
It had to last, it would go on 
But once it's passed, it's passed and gone 
You just pretend, it didn't end 
But make believe the blower 
When you're all alone 
It's always four a.m. 

Your thoughts take wings, but nothing brings 
That needed bit of slumber 
The phone then rings, your pour heart sings 
You left the phone, wrong number 
The sun is bright, the sky's a blaze 
But still it's night, there are no days 
And worst of all, right down the hall 
There's laughter through the door 
When you're all alone 
It's always four a.m. 

Your thoughts take wings, but nothing brings 
That needed bit of slumber 
The phone then rings, your pour heart sings 
You left the phone, wrong number 
The sun is bright, the sky's a blaze 
But still it's night, there are no days 
And worst of all, right down the hall 
There's laughter through the door 
When you're all alone 
It's always four a.m. 
When you're all alone 
It's always four a.m.
