[Verse 1] She walks down the alley in a red suede coat Morning paper folded like a secret note Sunlight dancing on the rainy street Every little heartbeat skips a beat I said “Hey now, where you gonna run?” She just laughed and said “I’m chasing the sun” Taxi radios and church bells ring London sounds like everything [Pre-Chorus] And the world keeps spinning round But she lifts me off the ground [Chorus] Oh, Lucy don’t fade away tonight Stay a little longer in the city lights (Ooh-ooh, stay awhile) Every word you say turns wrong to right Lucy don’t fade away tonight [Verse 2] Records spinning in a tiny flat Tea gone cold and a worn-out mat Photographs falling from the wall Funny how we thought we’d have it all Rain came down on Carnaby Street Still we danced to the passing beat You sang low while the buses rolled Your young heart never did what it was told [Pre-Chorus] And the sky turned silver-blue Every road just led to you [Chorus] Oh, Lucy don’t fade away tonight Stay a little longer in the city lights (Ooh-ooh, stay awhile) Every word you say turns wrong to right Lucy don’t fade away tonight [Bridge] Ahhh— Voices on the radio Ahhh— Places that we used to go Call my name through the haze Of those endlessly swinging days [Final Chorus] Oh, Lucy don’t fade away tonight Hold me like the summer of our lives (Ooh-ooh, hold on tight) Though tomorrow’s coming with the morning light Lucy don’t fade away tonight [Outro] Fade away… (Ooh-ooh) Fade away… (Ooh-ooh) Lucy don’t fade away tonight
