Running With the Night
Written by - Lionel Richie & Cynthia Weil
From - Can't Slow Down
Peaked at #7 - 1/84
The heart of the city street was beating
Light from the neon's turned the dark to day
We were too hot to think of sleepin'
We had to get out before the magic got away

We were runnin' with the night, playin' in the shadows 
Just you and I, 'til the mornin' light
We were runnin', runnin' with the night

You were lookin' so good, girl, heads were turnin'
You and me on the town, oh, we let it all hang out
The fire was in us, we were burnin'
We were gonna go all the way and we never had a doubt

We were runnin' with the night, playin' in the shadows...

We were so in love, you and me, on the boulevard, wild and free 
Giving all we got, we laid it down, taking ev'ry shot, we took the town

We were runnin' with the night, playin' in the shadows 
Just you and!, girl, it was so right, so right 
Runnin', runnin' with the night
Just you and I
Oh, we were runnin' with the night, playin' in the shadows
Just you and I, girl, it was so right, girl it was so right
