When a dear old friend came by today
We sure had a lot to say
Of the time we had so long ago
When answers to a dream were all we needed
To glide along our time
We remember, when you and I were fine
In the night hours
There's a look of sadness in your eyes
As you look at me in recollection
I don't know what you're thinking of
Then you smile
Say "You're looking good, sweet love"
And we glide along our time
We remember, when you and I were standing
We were standing
In the fading shadows
Play that song
The one that made me cry
Sing along your harmonies
Before you say goodbye
There's a look of sadness in my eyes
As I see you now in my reflection
And the time so long ago is clearer now
So we take it kinda slow
And we glide along our time
And something still remains
When you shared your pain with someone
So long ago
So long ago
In the night hours
(In) the night hours
(In) the night hours
In the night, in the night, in the night hours
In the night, in the night, in the night hours
In the night, in the night, in the night hours
(fading shadows)
In the night, in the night, in the night hours
(fading shadows)
In the night, in the night, in the night hours
Fades

Pauline Matthews better known as Kiki Dee, is an English singer.

She kicked around Britain as a white soul singer for the better part of the late ‘60s and early '70s – even becoming the first British Caucasian signed to Motown – before hooking up with Elton John, who signed her to his Rocket Records label and produced her first notable hit, “I’ve Got the Music in Me.”

In 1976, at which time John was the biggest pop star in the world, he wrote and duetted with Dee on the single “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” which promptly topped the charts all over the world. It did not, however, make Dee a long-term star, though she scored a couple of subsequent hits in England and turned to the stage with some success, especially by starring in Blood Brothers in the West End.
