All Through the Night Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All through the night
I'll be awake, and I'll be with you
All through the night
This precious time when time is new
Oh, all through the night today
Knowing that we feel the same without saying
[Chorus]
We have no past, we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends, there is no end
[Verse 2]
All through the night
Stray cat is crying, so stray cat sings back
All through the night
They have forgotten what by day they lack
Oh, under those white street lamps
There is a little chance they may see
[Chorus]
We have no past, we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends, there is no end
All through the night
I'll be awake, and I'll be with you
All through the night
This precious time when time is new
Oh, all through the night today
Knowing that we feel the same without saying
[Chorus]
We have no past, we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends, there is no end
[Verse 2]
All through the night
Stray cat is crying, so stray cat sings back
All through the night
They have forgotten what by day they lack
Oh, under those white street lamps
There is a little chance they may see
[Chorus]
We have no past, we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends, there is no end
[Bridge]
Oh, the sleep in your eyes is enough
Let me be there, let me stay there awhile
[Chorus]
We have no past, we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends, there is no end
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends, there is no end
Oh, the sleep in your eyes is enough
Let me be there, let me stay there awhile
[Chorus]
We have no past, we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends, there is no end
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends, there is no end
About
Genius Annotation
“All Through The Night” was penned quickly by Jules Shear in a rented house in England as his wife’s band rehearsed. He released it on his own album the same year it was covered by Lauper for her debut album She’s So Unusual.
It was her fourth single release and fourth consecutive top 5 in the US, reaching #5 in late 1984. It notably achieved success without a music video, which was almost mandatory with the international success of MTV at the time.
“All Through The Night” also made the top 30 in four countries overseas.
