It's Gonna Be A Long
Night is a beautiful ballad which comes from the season 1 episode
"Expose" where it was performed by Lori Singer. In the story Julie
has written a composition for English class which Bruno takes and creates a
song around. It is the only solo song that Lori performs on during her 2 years
on "Fame".
Written by Gary Portnoy and Estelle Levitt in 1980. The
song was originally recorded by Gary Portnoy in for his self titled album. He
also released the song as a single.
The song was popular and released on the Kids From Fame Album in July 1982 and is one of the 4 songs on the Kids From Fame Flip Hits Cassette in 1983. The labum version contains more backing vocals (from the Waters Family) and is longer than the episode version.
It was also included as part of the ballad medley during the 1982 and 1983 live tours and features on the Kids From Fame Live Album.
The song also features on the 2004 CD Ultimate Fame.
The Song has been covered by Aidan John Moffat and Sammie Soravia.

Lyrics
"The moons up
and the suns down
And a thousand
starry eyes have caught me crying
You don't die of a
broken heart
You just lie down
and give up trying
And it's gonna be a
long night, all night
It's such a long
hard fight
Keeping the tear
drops out of sight
Waiting for morning
light
It's gonna be a long
night
It's all gone but
the memories
Come back to me in
scattered pieces
Your eyes shine
Your smile glows
And my loneliness
for you increases
And it's gonna be a
long night, all night
It's such a long
hard fight
Keeping the tear
drops out of sight
Waiting for morning
light
It's gonna be a long
night
The moon's up and
the sun's down
And a thousand
starry eyes have caught me crying
You don't die of a
broken heart
You just lie down
and give up trying
And it's gonna be a
long night, all night
It's such a long
hard fight
Keeping the tear
drops out of sight
Waiting for morning
light
It's gonna be a long
night"
