These days are slipping away like thieves in the night
I try to hold on to them with all my might
Precious time spent with you goes by much too fast
Like snow in the sun it just never seems to last
Another tasteless coffee
Another empty day
Suddenly last night is just so far away
Too many talking heads
What was it that they said
When we’re apart the days are dark
When I’m with you I’m in the light
You’re my oasis in the night, yeah
You’re my oasis in the night
You’re my oasis in the night
You keep our love light shinning bright
You’re my oasis in the night, yeah
When you’re in my arms you keep the world at bay
You stop it at the door
I don’t care what they say
Time’s too short
The fire’s too hot
Don’t know what to do
‘Cause I know in a flash
It’s just a memory too
Another tasteless coffee
Another empty day
Suddenly last night is just so far away
Too many talking heads
What was it that they said
When we’re apart my days are dark
When I’m with you I’m in the light
You’re my oasis in the night
You’re my oasis in the night
You’re my oasis in the night
You’re my oasis in the night
I think I’ll die
I just can’t wait
Till our next oasis in the night, yeah
Aah till our next oasis in the night
Till our next oasis in the night, yeah
You’re my oasis in the night
