Top Five On Friday @ The Music MemoirsTop 5 "Night" songs or songs that relate to the night or evening.1. Good Night - The Beatles
My mom used to sing this to me as a lullaby when I was tiny! ♥
"Now it's time to say good night.
Good night, sleep tight.
Now the sun turns out his light.
Good night, sleep tight."
2. Because The Night - Patti Smith
I also love Natalie Merchant's version of this.
"Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us"
3. Nightswimming - R.E.M.
I absolutely love this song. Perfect for night driving.
"Nightswimming, remembering that night.
September's coming soon, I'm pining for the moon."
4. Rainy Night In Georgia - Brook Benton
This is good, and Ray Charles also did a fine, fine version of this song.
"Neon signs a-flashin', taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night.
A distant moanin' of a train seems to play a sad refrain to the night.
A rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia,
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world.
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world."
5. Walking After Midnight - Patsy Cline
Love Patsy. This is one of my favorites.
"I go out walking, after midnight,
out in the moonlight, just like we used to do.
I'm always walking, after midnight
searching for you."
