The hands on the clock seem to stick to the face
But the seconds are turning to minutes
And minutes to days

I try not to look at the grin on it's face
But I know that it knows that I gotta get out
Of this place

Time to close the day
Time to lock the door
time to greet the street

I'm so happy I'm walking on air
People staring but I don't care


Taxi, call a taxi, yellow taxi, taxi taxi
Don't take the subway don't go that way
'snot a safe way don't go that way

Gotta cross town don't want trouble
Got to get there on the double
She'll be waiting I'll be running

She'll be thinking I'm not coming

I can't wait to talk to you

Tell you what I'd like to do
We'll find a little restaurant
A little vino for the ambiance

In the candlelight we're holding hands

Time flies when you really

Don't want it to
The waiters are staring at me
But I've only got eyes for you

Leave us alone we don't wanna go home
Put your chairs on the tables
We can let ourselves out when you've gone

Time to take your home
Time to say goodnight
We don't wanna part

Let's be together tonight
Let's be together tonight


Taxi, call a taxi, yellow taxi, taxi taxi
Don't take the subway don't go that way
'snot a safe way we'll go our way

Gotta cross town back to my place
Pull the shades down screw the rat race
We're alone now undercover

Hang the sign out don't disturb

Now I'm really close to you

Tell you what I want to do
I wanna take you to a tropical place
Beneath the stars I'll see the love in your face

In the pale moonlight
We're holding hands
Following the footprints in the sand

It's been a hell of a day in the city
Now it's time to get away
