Lyrics:

Written by: neil diamond


Daytime turns me off, and I don't mean maybe

Nine-to-five ain't taking me where I'm bound

When it's done, I run out to see my baby

We get groovin' when the sun goes down


I thank the lord for the night time

To forget the day

A day of up-, uptight time

Baby, chase it away

I get relaxation

It's a time to groove

I thank the lord for the night time

I thank the lord for you


I'll talk about plans now, baby, I got plenty

Nothing ever seems turn out the way it should

Talk about money, girl, I ain't got any

Seems like just one time I'm feelin' good


I thank the lord for the night time

To forget the day

A day of up-, uptight time

Baby, chase it away

I get relaxation

It's a time to groove

I thank the lord for the night time

I thank the lord for you
