lyrics :

There's a song you might remember
It's been played a thousand times
And the words they keep returning
I know every single line
Please don't stop that music playing
Turn the jukebox way up high
Let the memories wash over me
Just like echoes in the night

Hold on to those echoes in the night
Save them, don't let them out of sight
Hold on to those echoes in the night
Midnight got me feeling alright

There's a guy you might remember
He was big in '69
Had a simple little story
With a message in the rhyme
When I heard that music playing
I felt like dancing in the street
Now I hear a different drummer
And a different kind of beat

Hold on to those echoes in the night
Save them, don't let them out of sight
Hold on to those echoes in the night
Midnight got me feeling alright

There's a face you might remember
Though her name you won't recall
Had her picture in the papers
And her posters on the wall
From Los Angeles to Broadway
You could see her name in lights
Now the fantasy has faded
Just an echo in the night

Hold on to those echoes in the night
Save them, don't let them out of sight
Hold on to those echoes in the night
Midnight got me feeling alright
