A Girl In The Night

A Girl In The Night - Ray Price

Written by：DR

She lives her life in honky tonks

And the crowded back street bar

A world of make-believe that knows

No sun no moon or star

Just the glitter of the great white way

And the glare of city light

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 the shadows hide her empty pride

A lonely girl in the night

I watch her sit there so lonely

As she lights a cigarette

And the smoke rings rise but in her eyes

Oh there seems to be such regret

Is she there to tempt a lover

In that dress that hugs her tight

With a glass of wine to pass the 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 the shadows hide her empty pride

A lonely girl in the night
