NELLIE:
We're the pleasures of the nighttime
That fade at dawn
Selling treasures of the nighttime
'till night is gone!
And then when the party's over
Everybody's gone away
We stare at an empty day
What is there to do or say?

Nighttime is where we live
Night is when we give
Everything we have to give.
Most lovers can rejoice
We don't have a choice
We just know we have to give.
That's why the day can never be bright
For the girls of the night.

LUCY:
Somewhere I know there's a someday
That's just for me
Everybody has a "Someday"
So why not me?

NELLIE:
Lucy, do you really need
to fill your heart with empty dreams.
You'll always be who you are
Stop chasing that distant star!

NELLIE & LUCY:
Nighttime is where we live
Night is when we give
Everything we have to give
Most lovers can rejoice
We don't have a choice
We just know we have to give.
That's why the day
can never be bright
For the girls of the night...

LUCY:
Fly away, fly away
Let me find my wings!
Let me be
The girl I want to be!

NELLIE:
I'm afraid to fly away
For all I have is here!

LUCY:
I have my hopes

NELLIE:
I have a child
and children must be fed
Forget your hopes
or you will be misled!
With the dawn they disappear!

LUCY:
Then why are mine still here?

NELLIE & LUCY:
Fly away!
Fly away!
Fly away!
Away!
Ask me to share
Your fantasies dear,
But don't ask me
Where tomorrow is.
Don't ask me
Where to find happiness
Though I know for sure
Where sorrow is.

NELLIE:
Sorrow is where the dark meets the light...

LUCY:
Someday I pray my fears will take flight...

NELLIE & LUCY:
Sorrow is when all hope fades from sight...
For the girls of the night...
We're the girls of the night...
Just the girls of the night...
