Lyrics

ONE PRIVATE MOMENT,
WE'RE ON THE SIDEWALK.
THE DOORMAN'S WATCHING.
SOME KIDS ARE, TOO.

WHY IS THE LOBBY
LIT UP LIKE TIMES SQUARE?
HERE COMES MY NEIGHBOR.
"YES, HOW ARE YOU?"

ONE PRIVATE MOMENT,
IT'S ALMOST MIDNIGHT.
TWO CATS ARE FIGHTING.
A DRUNK WANTS CHANGE.

A CAR HORN BLARES OUT,
"LA CUCARACHA."
DOES ALL THIS STRIKE YOU
AS SLIGHTLY STRANGE?

BUT THEN YOU KISS ME
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME
AND THERE'S NO SIGHT OR SOUND BUT YOU.
YOUR BREATH UPON MY CHEEK,
THE COLOR OF YOUR EYES,
YOUR FINGERS TOUCHING MINE.
WE STAND IN SWEET SURPRISE.

ONE PRIVATE MOMENT,
HERE ON THE SIDEWALK.
A MIDNIGHT CITY
ALIVE WITH NOISE AND LIGHT.
ONE PRIVATE MOMENT
WITH NINE MILLION PEOPLE.
ONE PRIVATE MOMENT
AND THEN GOOD-NIGHT.
