Jim Croce Child of Midnight song lyrics

She stood by the window

And let down her hair

Asked if I knew that I shouldn't be there

Her lips said goodbye

But her body said stay I knew I should go

But I stayed anyway

And they called her child of midnight

And they say she'd love whomever she'd find

But when morning came I loved her

And she stayed there in my mind

She stood by the window

And let down her hair

Asked if I thought that it was right

That she'd give her body and I'd give my mind

Looked for an answer all the night

And they called her child of midnight

And they say she'd love whomever she'd find

But when morning came I loved her

And she stayed there in my mind

She stood by the window

And tied up her hair

Acted as if I had never been there

Her lips said goodbye

And her body said stay

Knew I should go but I stayed anyway

And they called her child of midnight

And they say she'd love whomever she'd find

But when morning came I loved her

And she stayed there in my mind
