Lyrics
I’ve seen the sun rise so many times
In my rear view mirror as I was driving home
And oh the night owls good friends of mine
I was always the last to leave I always left alone
Then I met you and my life was changed
I guess my old friends might think it’s kinda strange
But I don’t care if the party starts without me
When the clock strikes twelve drink a toast to this old friend
Cause I’ll be dreaming with my darling’s arms around me
And I don’t care if I never see midnight again

Now all my old friends I’ve heard them say
It won’t be long before I get the urge to paint the town
But things look different in the light of day
You’re the only one I wanna see when the sun goes down
They might all think it’s some great mystery
If they had someone like you they’d do the same as me
Now I don’t care …
I’ll be dreaming with my darling’s arms around me
And I don’t care if I never see midnight again
