NIGHTSOUNDS written by Sheldon Manoo (1993)


Lonely, lonely
Why must I be so lonely?
I remember
When she used to hold me!

I reminisce here while listening to the nightsounds
As I feel the emptiness all around
I remember when I used to hear her breathing
And some of her secrets revealing
I remember being with her many a nights
Kissing and loving under the moonlight
But now here I lie alone in the dark
Hearing the night birds as they pass by
            Listening to the nightsounds, with a broken heart
            Listening to the nightsounds, all alone in the dark
            All these crazy nightsounds making me feel sad
            All those lonely nightsounds getting me a little mad

The night owls hooting around
Adding bass to the sound
And the crickets with their screeching noise
All that’s missing is a soft voice
I can still hear the echo of a whisper
But then I’m awaken and I miss her
All my dreams are shattered
And my heart is scattered
I don’t know what I did or what I didn’t do
I don’t know if it’s because of someone new
Cause I love the girl so
And it’s so hard to let go
Everything seems wrong
And I’m frightened by these nightsounds, oho
            Listening to the nightsounds, with a broken heart
            Listening to the nightsounds, all alone in the dark
            All these crazy nightsounds making me feel sad
            All those lonely nightsounds getting me a little mad

Oh the night used to be my friend
I wished they would never end
Because she used to be with me there
Showering all her love and care
It was the only time we could have spend together
All our friends and I thought it was forever
The day was our work time, the night for us
To talk things over and make sweet love
She made all the plans
She said I was her man
But where is she tonight?
I wonder if she is alright!
And if she comes back right now
I’ll forgive her somehow
I’ll accept her with open arms
And I’ll still be so calm
But it’s no use hoping
While the noise is building
Giving me a headache
And worsening my heart break!
            Listening to the nightsounds, with a broken heart
            Listening to the nightsounds, all alone in the dark
            All these crazy nightsounds making me feel sad
            All those lonely nightsounds getting me a little mad

I wish the night would just go away
So that I could work all day
I wish the night never come again
So that I won’t miss my friend
But in hours I know
The day will come and go
And I’ll be lying on my bed
Holding my head
Losing a lot of sleep, feeling lonely
While the night gets the better of me
Hoping it would all be gone
But the night would be so long, while I’m
            Listening to the nightsounds, with a broken heart
            Listening to the nightsounds, all alone in the dark
            All these crazy nightsounds making me feel sad
            All those lonely nightsounds getting me a little mad
