Now the mist across the window hides the lines
But nothing hides the colour of the lights that shine
Electricity so fine, look and dry your eyes

We, so tired of all the darkness in our lives
With no more angry words to say can come alive
Get into a car and drive to the other side

(Me babe, steppin' out)
(Into the night, into the light)
(You babe, steppin' out)
(Into the night, into the light)

We are young but getting old before our time
We'll leave the TV and the radio behind
Don't you wonder what we'll find steppin' out tonight?

You can dress in pink and blue just like a child
And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile
We'll be there in just a while if you follow me

(Me babe, steppin' out)
(Into the night, into the light)
(You babe, steppin' out)
(Into the night, into the light)

(You babe, steppin' out)
(Into the night, into the light)
(You babe, steppin' out)
(Into the night, into the light)
(Me babe, steppin' out)
(Into the night, into the light)
(Me babe, steppin' out)

I bought the Night and Day vinyl album the day it came out in 1982. Had to also buy the cassette tape to listen to it in the car. Still have them 41 years later. Brings back so many college memories from the early 1980’s. Maybe the greatest time of my life.
