The night that music saved my life

Words and music: Jochen Vierthaler

It was a sleepless night

there was emptiness so deep inside

when I heard a voice that came from you and me

Then someone grand from foreign land

seemed to take me by the hand

and told me the truth is plain to see

He said: „Come on over

Won´t you try to see find the light?“

So I closed my eyes and turned it up

and sang with all my might:

 

Eight miles high and starry eyed 

laughing with delight

with the echoes of the amplifiers

ringing through the night

There´s a new song on the radio

that gets me in my stride

Hey tonight ́s the night that music saved my life

Now many years have since been gone

and moss grew fat on a rolling stone

but hey, that ́s the way it used to be

She passed by and my oh my

and long as I can see the light

she reminded me the truth is plain to see

She said: „Come on over

Won´t you try to find the light?“

So we closed our eyes and turned it on

and sang with all our might:

 

Eight miles high and starry eyed

laughing with delight

there ́s a new song on the radio

I sing with all my might

It goes na na na na na na na

There´s a new song on the radio

I sing with all my might

Hey tonight´s the night that music saved my life
