Lyrics
It was nine twenty-nineNine twenty-nine, back street, big cityThe sun was going downThere was music all around, it felt so right
It was one of those nightsOne of those nights when you feel the world stop turningYou were standing thereThere was music in the air
I should have been awayBut I knew I had to stay
Last train to LondonJust heading outLast train to LondonJust leaving townBut I really want tonight to last foreverI really wanna be with youLet the music play on down the line tonight
It was one of those nightsOne of those nights when you feel the fire is burningEverybody was there, everybody to shareIt was so right
There you were on your ownLooking like you were the only one aroundI had to be with youNothing else that I could do
I should have been awayBut I knew I had to stay
Last train to LondonJust heading outLast train to LondonJust leaving townBut I really want tonight to last foreverI really wanna be with youLet the music play on down the line tonight
Underneath a starry skyTime was still but hours must really have rushed byI didn’t realizeBut love was in your eyes
I really should have goneBut love went on and on
Last train to LondonJust heading outLast train to LondonJust leaving townBut I really want tonight to last foreverI really wanna be with youLet the music play on down the line tonight
But I really want tonight to last foreverI really wanna be with youLet the music play on down the line tonight
