Joel, Billy - Until The Night Lyrics






I never ask you where you go
After I leave you in the morning
We go our different ways to separate situations
It's not that easy anymore

Today I do what must be done
I give my time to total strangers
But now it feels as though the the day goes on forever
More than it ever did before

Until the night, until the night
I just might make it
Until the night, until the night
When I see you again

Now you're afraid that we have changed
And I'm afraid we're getting older
So many broken hearts, so many lonely faces
So many lovers come and gone

I'll have my fears like every man
You'll have you tears like every woman
Today we'll be unsure, is this what we believe in
And wonder how can we go wrong

Until the night, until the night
I just might make it
Until the night, until the night
When I see you again

When the sun goes down
And the day is over
When the last of the light has gone
As they pour into the street
I will be getting closer
As the cars turn their headlights on
As they're closing it down
I'm gonna open it up
And while they're going to sleep
We'll just be starting to touch
I'm just beginning to feel
I'm just beginning to give
I'm just beginning to feel
I'm just beginning to live
Before I leave you again
Before the light of dawn
Before this evening can end
I have been waiting so long

Until the night, until the night
I just might make it
Until the night, until the night
I'll just keep holding on
Until the night, until the night
When I see you again

Joel, Billy Until The Night Comments
  1. S.... ....

    Although it was silly of me as a child to confuse Billy Joel with Jackson Browne (they had a couple of common accompanists on record), certain aspects of this song kind of underline whatever it was that made me confuse the two of them (before I learned who Jackson was).

  2. m.... A....

    Will always remind me of a special love I once had.  I would drive hours to just be with her. It didn't last long but it burned white hot. 40 years later I still remember her.  This epic song seems to have been written just for us.  Thank you Billy!

  3. P.... ....

    The best song about marriage as their ever was.

  4. t.... ....

    Gotta love the whole darn thing. Really glad this was 6 minutes.
    This is my favorite album of all time, despite this going up against The White Album and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

  5. q.... ....

    This song is a masterpiece

  6. S.... ....

    Billy’s music deserved to rotate in progressive rock playlists.

    This song sounds as though it could be a song about casual lovers. However, it’s about marriage.

  7. J.... A....

    This isn't the Righteous Brothers????? :)

  8. J.... N....

    Best Billy Joel song

  9. D.... ....

    Would have liked to have heard the Righteous Brothers cover this song!

  10. H.... L....

    It is so sad...

  11. H.... L....

    This is what most of married arrive to live after sharing many years if the plant of marriage doesn't receive the necessary water anymore :( that 's the cruel life

  12. S.... J....

    If this song doesn't speak to you or move you in some way...then I pity you

  13. 4.... ....

    The first Billy Joel album I owned was 52nd Street in 1978 (I was 13 years old) My grandma bought it for me at a Woolworth's department store basement. Then we had lunch at the snack bar. THANK YOU Grandma for always treating me better than I ever deserved. I still think of you everyday and love you. Anyway, I always thought that THIS was the best song on the album.

  14. S.... R....

    Even though I owned the album, if this song came on the radio, I would stop whatever I was doing and listen/sing along. Really gets to your soul.

  15. S.... B....

    How wonderful
    Maravilhoso trabalho
    great Billy Joel
    Amazing

    R.... L....

    Che talento .. Nessuno miscela così bene ogni tipo di musica come Piano Man

  46. D.... H....

    I so need to learn the lyrics of this master piece. Such a great song

    D.... H....

    Would you be interested in it as a karaoke (MP4) file? I just heard the song for the first time after a friend sent it to me, and I was pretty impressed with it. I tried Googling the producer of the MP4 ("Lorenzo's") so I could point you to a possible source, but there are too many results by that name.
    I looked it up on Wikipedia to find out who did the backing vocals (Doug Stegmeyer), and the article said "The song, which Joel has confirmed was inspired by the Righteous Brothers, is an example of Joel's penchant for evoking the hit sounds of the 1960s which would be the basis for his 1983 album, _An Innocent Man_ ." Later in the article, it says "Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers recorded "Until the Night" for his 1980 album _Sweet Thunder_ ." I guess Mr. Medley liked it, too. :-)

  47. V.... 6....

    Why this was passed over as a single is beyond me.

  48. R.... L....

    Amazing

  49. D.... R....

    Never get sick of listening to this brilliant song...loved it from way back in the day when i bought the album, its now 2019 and i still love it.

  50. O.... ....

    Now THAT'S what I call music.

  51. R.... L....

    wonderful
    Great song
    as mais belas canções . performances . som voz somente Billy Joel.

  52. J.... S....

    Lavoravo in pizzeria al "Ragno d'Oro",da Alberto Oliva.

  53. R.... L....

    wonderful song
    Wonderful artist
    love Billy Joel

  54. D.... B....

    I don't think Billy Joel did that great of a job on this song. Perhaps one of his better ones but he has a lot of songs that make me want to throw up. Great artist great talent but not my cup of tea. I get sick of hearing Billy Joel songs and every retail establishment. Lot of his songs have the most Ludacris lyrics and stupid ass music behind them. I don't have time to listen to Billy Joel when there's so much better music out there. I can't change the station fast enough and I just swear and cus. Can't hardly believe it is that many good comments on here. Have a hard time believing that he's still making any money. He needs to quit being the front man and just play the piano and let somebody else write and sing the songs. Have somebody else be a lyricist, perhaps Bernie Taupin. I've seen Billy Joel in concert playing the piano upside down and inside out. It was fun like a circus. But the music is never good. Almost as bad as Foreigner, or Huey Lewis and the news, yuck yuck yuck.

    D.... B....

    @Dean B: For someone who doesn't have time for Billy Joel, you sure just spent a lot of time and energy writing about him. Why not just move along? Why can't you just let people enjoy what they want to enjoy?

  55. S.... J....

    MASTERPIECE

  56. V.... A....

    I primi due assieme a the stranger e a 52nd street sono i capolavori di billy idol .dischi tra i più belli e tipici del cantautorato Made in u.s.a anni 70.

  57. P.... M....

    Whenever I hear this I am back in the moment! My favorite of all Billy’s songs. The lyrics, the music, that sax!

  58. a.... l....

    Can't ever get enough of this one. Billy at his absolute best. Love it.

  59. B.... M....

    Gold's out for night's out. Merry, that's a line!

  60. t.... ....

    Wonderful melody Billy's tribute to the Righteous Brothers You've lost that Lovin Feeling

  61. D.... H....

    Sometimes I feel the rise and falls within this song are like making love.... from foreplay, through various plateaus, right up to synchronised climaxes..... and then the Afterglow.

  62. B.... ....

    Just cannot get enough of this song! Not only does it remind me of the yearnings of my youth, but also the endless ache of such strong physical attraction... aaaahhhhhh! A pure masterpiece Billy!

  63. F.... V....

    AWESOME SONG!

  64. A.... M....

    Johnny Contardo did an AMAZING cover of this song. Sounded absolutely beautiful. 💜

  65. P.... L....

    These songs get me through my 80 hour week and my 85 mile commute. Thanks Billy!

    P.... L....

    Have you thought about changing your job?

  66. M.... S....

    Fabulous song. Such an underrated song. The sax performance is brilliant! One of Billy Joel's best and one of my favorites.

  67. S.... K....

    Happy Thanksgiving, Billy Joel and family! You are one of the things I am thankful for as your music is the soundtrack of my life.

    You haven't lived until u have seen Billy perform this live.. best ever!

  69. b.... g....

    this song is a work of art

  70. B.... M....

    I can see where he got his inspiration. It doesn't come close to the presence of the Righteous Brothers or Phil Spectre's production methods. Still, a good song.

  71. B.... D....

    I love this

  72. R.... R....

    My #1 BJ song.

  73. A.... K....

    Memories of my friend Dave who sang the heck outta this song ..........goodnight god bless mate

    As a teen growing up in the middle of Kansas, 52nd Street was what New York City was to me, what it should be in my imagination.

    Love this, a masterpiece. Fav. Billy Joel song, so beautifully arranged and performed.

  82. K.... M....

    This has long been one of my favorites (and favorite albums) of Billy Joel. I loved the Fenway concert that I just saw! Incredible. But if he and his talented band return next summer, I'd love it if they played this one, or "Rosalinda's Eyes."

  83. d.... ....

    Maybe the most beautiful songs ever done by Joel, and I never heard it once on the airways.

  84. F.... S....
