(Don Schlitz - Craig Bickhardt)
I`ve seen the sun rise so many times
In my rear view mirror as I was driving home
And oh the night owls good friends of mine
I was always the last to leave I always left alone.
Then I met you and my life was changed
I guess my old friends might think it`s kinda strange
But I don`t care if the party starts without me
When the clock strikes twelve drink a toast to this old friend.
`Cause I`ll be dreaming with my darling`s arms around me
And I don`t care if I never see midnight again.
Now all my old friends I`ve heard them say
It won`t be long before I get the urge to paint the town
But things look different in the light of day
You`re the only one I wanna see when the sun goes down.
They might all think it`s some great mystery
If they had someone like you they`d do the same as me
Now I don`t care if the party starts without me
When the clock strikes twelve drink a toast to this old friend.
`Cause I`ll be dreaming with my darling`s arms around me
And I don`t care if I never see midnight again.
I`ll be dreaming with my darling`s arms around me
And I don`t care if I never see midnight again...
