goodbye blue sky - oh but hello!

(one two three)
if you close the door
the night could last forever
leave the sunshine out
and say hello to never

all the people are dancing
and theyre having such fun
i wish it could happen to me -

- but if you close the door
id never have to see the day again

if you close the door
the night could last forever
leave the wineglass out
and drink a toast to never

oh someday i know
someone will look into my eyes
and say hello
youre my very special one -

- but if you close the door
id never have to see the day again

dark party bars
shiny cadillac cars
and the people on subways and trains
looking grey in the rain
as they stand disarrayed
all the people look well in the dark

and if you close the door
the night could last forever
leave the sunshine out
and say hello to never

all the people are dancing
and theyre having such fun
i wish it could happen to me -

- cause if you close the door
id never have to see the day again
id never have to see the day again (once more)
id never have to see the day again

- "after hours", the velvet underground

(well, minnie: it looks like you opened the door, emerged from the darkness, looked that someone in the eye, and said hello to forever. i wont go as far as saying that youre dancing around embracing the sun, but perhaps we can retire your song to never...)
