LONG DAY, SHORT NIGHT
(Burt Bacharach / Hal David)


Dionne Warwick - 1965

Long day, short night
Oh, I can hardly wait until we have our date
It's been a long, long, long day
And when we met at last
The hours went so fast
Oh, what a short, short night

The moments when I'm alone with you
That's when all my wishes
And all of my dreams come true
But time waits for no one
When there's so much love in my heart
Tell me why we have to part

It's been a long day, short night
I need to love so much, that when we're out of touch
It's a long, long, long day
Until you marry me
Each night of love will be
A very short, short night

The moments when I'm alone with you
That's when all my wishes
And all of my dreams come true
But time waits for no one
When there's so much love in my heart
Tell me why we have to part

It's been a long day, short night
I need to love so much, that when we're out of touch
It's a long, long, long day
Until you marry me
Each night of love will be
A very short, short night

Tomorrow's gonna be a long, long, long day
Oh yeah, now wasn't it a short, short night
Tomorrow's gonna ba a long ......... FADE
