City Nights - Melissa Manchester - Song of the Month





"City Nights" is a synthesized dance pop song performed by Melissa Manchester. Written by  George D Kieffer, Michael Bellotti, Ross Sany Longo, Melissa Manchester & Arif Mardin in 1983 it it appears on Melissa's 1983 album "Emergency".

An edit of the song was used for Melissa's guest starring appearance in the season 3 episode "Home Again".

The song was also released a single in Japan and was covered by Dutch girl group The Dolly Dots for their 1985 album "Attention".

As yet the song has never been performed in any of the Fame concerts.





Dolly Dots 1985 Cover Version



"I got a hunger running deep

I got a pain that you can't see

Here in the city I feel free

To chase what's calling me

Now in a world that plays for keeps

There is a party in the streets

I'm gonna do what I have to do

To make a life for me

But it takes you some time

Till you get you a mind of your own

City nights

I'll be what I want to be

The nights are gonna rescue me

Cause you know that I'm living

Deep in the city nights

Never gonna be alone

City nights will be my home

City nights

City nights

I work all day it's wasting time

It pays the bills it kills my mind

But I do what I have to do

To keep my dream alive

And when the moonlight hits the street

I feel the thunder of the beat

And suddenly I know what I've been waiting for

But it takes you some time

Till you get you a mind of your own

City nights

I'll be what I want to be

The nights are gonna rescue me

Cause you know that I'm living

Deep in the city nights

Never gonna be alone

City nights will be my home

City nights

City nights

City nights

I can't wait any longer

I know where I belong

There's my star moving faster

But I'll take my chances

I got to be strong

City nights

City nights

City nights

I'll be what I want to be

The night's gonna rescue me

Cause you know that I'm living

Deep in the city nights

I'll be what I want to be

The nights will rescue me

Cause you know that I'm living

Deep in the city nights"





Happy Valentine's Day
