AFTERHOURS (Velvet Underground)
(1,2,3)
If you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
And say hello to never
All the people are talking and they're having such fun
I wish this could happen to me
But if you close the door
I'll never have to see the day again
But if you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the wine glass out
And drink a toast to never
Someday I know someone will look into my eyes
And say hello
You're my very special one
But if you close the door
(Bass line to bridge: --Bb)
I'll never have to see the day again
Bridge:
Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars
--
And people on subways and trains
Looking grey in the rain as they stand disarrayed
Oh but people look well in the dark
If you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
And say hello to never
Someday I know someone will look into my eyes
And say hello
You're my very special one
But if you close the door
I'll never have to see the day again
I'll never have to see the day again (once more)
I'll never have to see the day again
