[Verse] When the city settles down and the busy hours are gone There is room for little memories to return one by one A familiar sound in silence A photograph in blue All the moments left for later find their way back into the view The hours won't ask for anything Streets will lose their sound And somewhere between dusk and midnight old feelings come around [Pre-Chorus] The stillness draws me closer to the things I never lose And something I have carried can come through [Chorus] Only the light of night knows what the crowded hours can't hold Feelings waiting quietly until the evening takes control Only the light of night knows how the past can come alive when there finally is a moment to let every feeling rise Oh, let it glow Oh, let it rise Don't fear what life shows Only the light of night knows [Verse] There are pieces of our story that return without a sound A particular expression A familiar way you turned around A sentence from another evening A small detail to recall Things that seemed so insignificant but now mean so much more at all I never have to search for them they always find their way when there is some freedom at the end of every day [Pre-Chorus] The deeper hours open What the faster ones move past Until every little fragment has a chance to breathe at last [Chorus] Only the light of night knows how a simple trace can stay When the smallest part of yesterday can still reach me far away Only the light of night knows Those quiet hours have something to give Not only wishful thinking They offer a space to let remembered feelings live Oh, let it linger Oh, let it be It's only yours for hours Only the light of night knows [Verse] Now I understand the feeling doesn't ask me to remain in a place that time has finished or to turn the years again Life continues with its changes and future carries on But there are hours that belong to everything that has been gone So I welcome them when they find me when the late hours come around There is nothing left to hurry There is finally time for now [Bridge] I don't need to stop the world I don't need to make it stay What I could not feel in passing has its own dedicated place Perhaps that is the reason these old feelings still return Not to pull me from tomorrow but to show me what i've learned [Pre-Chorus] And as everything grows softer there is nothing left to prove I let the years keep moving while these feelings find their truth [Final-Chorus] Only the light of night knows how a life can hold so much How years can leave their distance without taking all the love Only the light of night knows what remains when seasons change How things we once experienced can still carry something strange Only the light of night knows why these hours feel so clear When life around me quiets there is room for what is dear [Outro] Some moments ask for nothing but a little room to stay and some feelings need no answer they simply find their way When another evening approaches I will know what waits below It only shows in silent hours, cuz: Only the light of night knows Only the light of night knows
