It's 11 o'clock on a rainy night
She's never been this late before
Waitin' 2 hear the telephone

Or see her walkin thru the door
As the hours pass on by
My thoughts they changed to fear

Police car stops outside and i know
What i thought i'd never hear
He's got bad news

So young 2 lose

She's not comin' home tonight

She's gone forever
She spread her wings and she took flight
She's bound for heaven

Turn out those lights
She's not comin' home tonight


Well she had no place 2 stay
So she moved in 4 a while
Cause when u down on your luck in hollywood

Another inch could make the mile

A letter lying on the table

Was addressed to her mom and dad
It told a story of a life a little brighter
Then the one she really had

So hard to call
And tell them all


She's not comin' home tonight
She's gone forever
She spread her wings and she took flight

She's bound for heaven
Turn out those lights
She's not comin' home tonight


I'll never know the way she felt
Wish we still had time to say

If we only could have changed some things
Would she still be here today


She's not comin' home tonight
She's gone forever
She spread her wings and she took flight

She's bound for heaven
Turn out those lights
She's not comin' home tonight

She's not comin' home tonight
She spread her wings and she took flight
She's gone forever

Turn out those lights
Cause she's not comin' home tonight


It's 11 o'clock on a rainy night
She's never been this late before
Waitin' 2 hear the telephone

Or see her walkin thru the door
