【Verse 1】 Nine in the morning, right on time Paper and coffee, dressed to shine Telephone ringing down the hall I keep my cool, I handle it all His little note is in my coat Two simple words are all he wrote “Meet me tonight beneath the sign” I hide a smile and watch the time 【Pre-Chorus】 When the working day is through The city leads me back to you 【Chorus】 I make my living in the daylight I come alive after five Running through the neon twilight With a little love in my eyes I’ve got my dreams, I’ve got my own life And someone waiting outside I make my living in the daylight I come alive after five 【Verse 2】 I leave the office, change my shoes Shake off the day and lose the blues A yellow taxi, radio loud Carries me into the crowd He sees me coming, takes my hand He knows I never change my plans He loves the woman that I am Not just the dress or where I stand 【Pre-Chorus】 When the evening paints the town Nothing’s gonna slow me down 【Chorus】 I make my living in the daylight I come alive after five Running through the neon twilight With a little love in my eyes I’ve got my dreams, I’ve got my own life And someone waiting outside I make my living in the daylight I come alive after five 【Bridge】 Some girls are waiting for a diamond ring I want a love that lets me spread my wings Walk beside me, never lead the way Kiss me tonight, believe in me all day 【Final Chorus】 I make my living in the daylight I come alive after five Dancing beneath the city streetlights With my future shining bright I’ve got my dreams, I’ve got my own life And someone here by my side I make my living in the daylight I come alive after five 【Outro】 Five o’clock The city shines Five o’clock And you are mine
