Girl In The Night Lyrics - Hank Thompson

She lives her life in honky tonks and crowded backstreet bars 

A world of make believe that knows no sun or moon or stars 

Just a glitter of the great white way and the glare of city lights 

Where music's loud she's in the crowd, a girl in the night 

I wonder if she's thinking of dreams that didn't last 

I wonder if she's haunted by heartaches from the past 

Perhaps there is a story of a love that wasn't right 

Now shadows hide her empty pride, a girl in the night 

She's sitting there so lonely as she lights a cigarette 

The smoke rings rise and in her eyes there seems to be regret 

Is she there to tempt the lover in a dress that hugs her tight? 

A glass of wine to pass the time, a girl in the night 

I wonder if she's thinking of dreams that didn't last 

I wonder if she's haunted by heartaches from the past 

Perhaps there is a story of a love that wasn't right 

Now shadows hide her empty pride, a girl in the night 

Now shadows hide her empty pride, a girl in the night
