Welcome the Night Lyrics

When we were young

In the bunk above

You slept every night in the darkness

To watch over me

Now that we have grown

When I'm all alone

You're in this new darkness

And still are so comforting

Our day, our day is done

Though we did laugh and play in the sun

Boy did we have some fun

But now it's only right to welcome the night

These years have passed

How they went so fast

We saw colors so bright that

We'll never get out of our minds

Now the future calls

Sure we'll have a ball

There'll be colors more subtle

And more difficult to define

Our day, our day is done

Though we did laugh and play in the sun

Boy did we have some fun

But now it's only right to welcome the night
