Dio - One Night In The City Lyrics






Oh Johnny was a dark child he was promised to us all
But riders in the night can lift you out of sight when they call that's all
But Sally was a princess and she was chosen for the crown
But chains can't stop the sound of one night in the city one night looking pretty yeah
Then someone opened doorways and Johnny slipped away
Running for the bright where dark is always light but there's no day no way
The princess saw the dark child and the dark child said her name come steal away we'll play the game
Do you watch do you see do you know the people in me I'm the bite I'm the bark I'm the scream
I'm the poor I'm the sure I'm the holy I'm the pure I can tell you tales you just might not believe
One night in the city one night looking pretty one night in the city one night looking pretty
One night one night one night one night one night one night
Yeah the children shared the wonder of the leather and the lace
But one child went away and one child stayed to play for one night in the city
One night looking pretty yeah one night in the city one night touching pretty
But chains don't make a wall and dreams lay where they fall
Dark is never night when dreams make up the light one night in the city
One night feeling pretty yeah one night in the city feeling pretty pretty pretty
Pretty in the city one night in the city yeah one night one night one night one night
One night in the city one night one night oh one child went away
And one child stayed to play chains don't make a wall
Your dreams are made up where they fall one night in the city

  1. J.... J....

    This whole album and Ozzy's Diary of a Madman are my two most favorite albums of all time. Can't beat them. I still listen to the entire albums at least weekly.

    I met Dio at a concert.I jumped on stage and he grabbed my hand before the bouncers could get me.He kept singing the song escorting me off stage into the hands of the bouncers right out the door,lol.

    b.... h....

    Holy shit , i did the same thing on Lock up the Wolves tour , security litteraly grabbed both arms and legs and threw me head first in an alley behind the Rivera Theatre in Chicago.Looked up and saw an open window on 2nd floor next to.a gutter , climbed the bitch only missed half of song

  21. L.... G....

    _You can keep trying to make rock different. _*_But you'll never make it BETTER._* My opinion.

  22. N.... L....

    DIO RULES...ALWAYS THOUGHT HE WAS BETTER THAN OZZY.

    N.... L....

    There both legends, both unique. Sabbath for Oz & Dio for Ronnie, Bark at the moon & Crazy train, last in line, fuck take me back to the 80's

  23. D.... N....

    Regan realised Rambo ran republican. Reload

  24. R.... S....

    I guess Dio didn't survive one night in the city

  25. J.... O....

    What a song. Still the greatest live show I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing.

    J.... O....

    I saw em at festival hall in Melbourne Australia in about 86, Best ever concert ever

  26. A.... W....

    That's my favorite Vivian Campbell riff, laid back but deadly.

  27. P.... C....

  29. A.... I....

  31. �.... �....

    Не понимаю, зачем слушать и ставить минус, если это ДИО !?

    �.... �....

    больным с деменцией петровной не понять!!!

  32. M.... F....

    All the Songs of Dio was great! Dio forever! The Best Singer of the UNIVERSE!

    M.... F....

    BEST SINGER = LEMME KILMISTER 🤘

  33. V.... P....

    Is true "Dio Band"🎼🎶🎵🎸😎👊

  34. s.... g....

    why people dissliking this ???????!!!????

    s.... g....

    Because they are idiots..Long Live Ronnie's Legacy \m/

  35. h.... m....

    Great fucking album !!

  36. u.... ....

    What amaizing drummer is Vinny

    u.... ....

    Vinny, is an amazing drummer!

    u.... ....

    Vinnie, is an amazing drummer!

  37. D.... C....

    Long live Ronnie James Dio!

  38. V.... V....

    Vincent was a dark child now Cindy was a gypsy princes they're promise to us all

  39. F.... L....

    Never before has, nor ever again will, the story of Cinderella sounded so hard core.

  40. F.... Z....

    Vivian's solo is one of my favorites. Nothing complex, but fits the song perfectly.

  41. K.... L....

    Digging into Ronnie's lyrics is always a blast... In this tune, he refers to the biblical story of legion, the possessed man who said "We are legion". In Ronnie's words: Do you see the people in me? It's the city speaking

  42. F.... M....

    Why have I never listened to Dio before? He is my favourite singer at the moment.

    F.... M....

    @chrissie dio mettis you are right , he has an amazing way of adding emotion to his singing , so much so that as a listener you can feel that emotion , I guess that's what great singing is , he's basically a poet who can sing

    F.... M....

    Fritz - watch the Heaven and Hell concert from Radio City Music Hall here on YouTube. Ronnie at his finest, IMO. And Tony, Geezer, and Vinny weren't too shabby either. ;)

    F.... M....

    Maybe you were too busy doing laundry?

    F.... M....

    @Randall Chilcher Rainbow-Rising 🤘🤘

    F.... M....

    Dio became my favourite the instant I first heard him years ago

  43. h.... m....

    It's the other rock n roll children song. . .

    h.... m....

    Rock N Roll children is the other this song if anything, but that's not even true

  44. �.... �....

    🤘🤘🤘🤘

  45. C.... M....

    Amazing song!! DIO eterno, from brasil!

    C.... M....

    O melhor

    C.... M....

    muito bom

  46. S.... O....

    Oh, Johnny was a dark child
    He was promised to us all
    But rides in the night,
    But can lift you out of sight when they call, that's all
    My Sally was a princess
    And she was chosen for the crown
    But chains can't stop the sound
    Of one night in the city
    One night looking pretty
    Then someone opened doorways
    And Johnny slipped away
    Running for the bright,
    Where dark is always light
    But there's no day, no way
    The princess saw the dark child
    And the dark child said her name
    Come steal away, we'll play the game
    Do you watch, do you see
    Do you know the people in me
    I'm the bite, I'm the bark, I'm the scream
    I'm you poor, I'm you sure
    I'm you holy, I'm you pure
    I can tell you tales you just might not believe
    One night in the city, one night looking pretty
    One night in the city, one night looking pretty
    One night, one night, one night, one night
    The children shared the wonder
    Of the leather and the lace
    But one child went away,
    And one child stayed to play
    For one night in the city
    One night looking pretty yeah
    One night in the city
    One night looking pretty yeah
    But chains don't make the wall
    And dreams lay where they fall
    Darkness in the night when dreams make up the light
    One night in the city, one night looking pretty yeah
    One night in the city, feeling pretty, pretty in the city
    One night in the city
    One night, one night, one night, one night
    One night in the city
    One night, one night
    One child went away and one child stayed to play
    Chains don't make the wall, dreams are lay just where they fall
    In the city, one night in the city

    S.... O....

    But rideRS in the night.

    Running for the Night

    I'm you poor, I'm THEvsure

    I'm THE holy UNDERPURE

    S.... O....
