[ [Verse 1] The city’s gone to sleep, the neon signs grow dim Streetlights paint the sidewalks in a silver, lonely hymn My footsteps echo soft on the empty avenue Just me and the moon and a memory of you [Chorus] Walkin’ down the street at three A.M. Whistlin’ low a half-forgotten hymn Every window dark, every doorway still Only my shadow and this old heart’s will Walkin’ down the street at three A.M. Tryin’ to outrun the thoughts of where you’ve been [Verse 2] A taxi sighs and vanishes around the corner bend A late-night radio plays a song that never ends The cool air kisses softly on this weary face of mine And every step I take feels like another glass of wine [Chorus] Walkin’ down the street at three A.M. Whistlin’ low a half-forgotten hymn Every window dark, every doorway still Only my shadow and this old heart’s will Walkin’ down the street at three A.M. Hopin’ that the dawn might bring you back again [Bridge] If these empty streets could talk, they’d tell the tale of me A lonely man in a lonely town, still waitin’ patiently But the night keeps rollin’ on, the clock won’t turn around So I keep on walkin’ till the morning comes around [Final Chorus] Walkin’ down the street at three A.M. Whistlin’ soft that half-forgotten hymn The city holds its breath, the world is standing still Just me and the moonlight and this quiet thrill Walkin’ down the street at three A.M. Dreamin’ that tomorrow you’ll be mine again
