Philadelphia Nights

from Philadelphia Nights by Mary Scholz

/

about

This song is about my city, Philadelphia. It speaks for itself.

lyrics

Keeping track and keeping tabs
Of all the bridges and all the cabs
Rollin' past the city lights
That light up my city nights

Heart to hearts eight stories high
Just two good friends and all that sky
Noises never reach the sound
Of singing out loud

My Philadelphia Nights

And there we were a week ago
Up on the roof and looking down low
Just two guitars and a drumming hand
We had no need for plans

And all the music that we make
Is nothing else but a sweet escape
And looking out over city lights
The moment was right

My Philadelphia Nights

Then all of a sudden you hear the sound
Of silent singing, now my world's upside down
And moving on with the plan
With my heart in my hand

And now wherever we go from here
More and more it's all too clear
No matter how your days will fair
They will never compare

To these Philadelphia Nights

These Philadelphia Nights

Goodnight
