If It Takes All Night by Horslips Lyrics

I was only a passerby, I couldn't get involved
But you seemed so lost, so off your course
I ran to help you, when you called
You were only a little child
A face behind the wall
You were compromised, not worldly wise
You saw and heard, you felt it all
But it's love we're talking about, and I can see
If it takes all night
I'm going to love you, and make it right

You lost your heart, when you found your way to
The neon side of town now it's no surprise, to realise
The friends you made have let you down
They turned your head, with the things they said
They blinded you with lies
But you can't erase the smiling face
The glamour hid, behind the eyes
