After Hours (Twelve Bars Past Goodnight) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the gang has gone home
Standing on the corner
All alone

[Verse 2]
So you and me, streetlight
We'll paint the town—grey
Oh, we are so many lamps
Who have lost our way

[Bridge]
Say goodnight, America
Oh, the word still loves a dreamer

[Verse 3]
And all the gang has gone home
And I'm standing on the corner
All alone

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
