Cooke's Tour

London by night is a wonderful sight
 there is magic abrawl in the air
 I'm often told that the street turn to gold
 when the moon shines on circus and square
 deep in the dark that envelops the park
 there's a man and his cigarette's low
 down by the Thames, lights that sparkle like gems
 seem to wink at each girl and her boy


 up comes the moon when the city's asleep
 he's not alone for it sings
 somewhere up there stands an angel to keep her watch
 while each Londener dreams


 my love and I saw the sun leave the sky
 then we kissed in the fast fading light
 most people say they love London by day
 but lovers love London by night


 most people they love London by day
 but lovers love London by night
