All Through the Night

He loves the dawn
But I am the night
And I bet he wants
Something beautiful, simple and bright

But I think too much
I love like I'm dying
And I come and go like the moon, like the moon
My face shows when I'm lying

And I may not burn like some
I'll bathe him in silver light
And when the sunset comes
I'll be loving him, loving him all through the night

There was a time
Many in fact
They called me sunshine
But only my mother knows that

A kiss on his shoulder
His chest and his hands
And he talks so funny
So I'd kiss his mouth and be sunshine again, but just for him

And I may not burn like some
I'll bathe him in silver light
And when the sunset comes
I'll be loving him, loving him all through the night

And oh his laughter
I still hear it thirty midnights after
But I just can't confess
Oh I know I'm in over my head
And I know he knows that I know he knows

That he is the sun, but I am the moon
Hung like a ghost in the sky when it's day and he's lighting me too
But he is no fool, he's sees I'm a mess
So I'll blame these unsteady hands
on the wine when we dance, nonetheless

And I'll never burn like some
But I'll let him shine so bright
He'll know when morning comes
I've been loving him, loving him all through the night
All through the night, all through the night
