Electric Light Orchestra - When The Night Comes Lyrics






When the night comes
That's when I think of you
When the night comes
I get midnight blue

But what can I say
When the night comes to stay

When the night comes (And everybody's gone)
When the night comes (And I'm here all alone)
When the night comes
Every night, that's when I think of you

Now's the time
I see the twilight comin' on
Now's the time
Pretty soon, they'll all be gone

But where will I be
When the night comes to me

When the night comes (And everybody's gone)
When the night comes (And I'm here all alone)
When the night comes
Every night, that's when I think of you

But what can I say
When the night comes to stay

When the night comes (And everybody's gone)
When the night comes (And I'm here all alone)
When the night comes
Every night, that's when I think of you
When the night comes (And everybody's gone)
When the night comes (And I'm here all alone)
When the night comes
Every night, that's when I think of you
When the night comes (And everybody's gone)
When the night comes (And I'm here all alone)

    David Bowie is gone but ELO is still alive. Nice consolation as far as I'm concerned. Would love to see Jeff take them on the road in 2016.

  43. S.... K....

    E L O - Jeff Lynne - einfach genial

  44. s.... b....

    great song, making reference to many past elo hits.

  45. K.... B....

    ELO is my favourite band, Jeff Lynnes voice and the unique atmosphere he brings to every song always manages to move me in different ways. I feel like Jeff is really making music because he loves to, considering how long he's been doing it.

  46. b.... b....

    Mr Koval has right,what a wonderful testimony for us all...So bad that you come to ZURICH May,3 and not to Zénith STRASBOURG...We love You #JeffLYNNE #ELO

  47. K.... B....

    i like this song. i play it in my flying saucer.

  48. M.... J....

    there is just no other like jeff lynne, he does music more than proud

  49. j.... w....

    Been listening to ELO since I was 15 years old. Now 55. ELO has been a big part of the soundtrack of my life. Thank you Jeff.

  50. M.... V....

    Perfect as usual by ELO !!

  51. D.... S....

    A perfect song as to see the stars by night! great !

  52. S.... C....

    Amazing song! This album encapsulates everything I love about ELO!!

  53. C.... ....

    I have liked JL since the 70's and also his stuff now!! Keep it up Jeff.

  54. l.... ....

    Just Beautiful!

  55. c.... ....

    love the sound of this.....jeffs still has his sounds that he incorporates. ....its less but more

  56. C.... V....

    hermoso.disfrutar lo nuevo de elo

  57. J.... S....

    Yes the best been my favourite since the about 1975 timing me of my husband who I have been married to for 35 yrs allways had them on in the car my children grew up with ELO all so my gran daughter used to stand in her cot and dance to them love u allways

  58. M.... C....

    pure genius is jeff lynne what a fantastic cd well worth the wait

  59. C.... B....

    i saw the band in there out of the blue tour in the 70's awesome then and awesome now

  60. S.... ....

    I know Kelly is dead but Jeff needs to do ONE MORE ELO album with as many of the original lineup as possible.

    Jeff you are a genius, but PLEASE give us old farts the OLD ELO I knew as a kid, I want the old days back when I had fun and had no worries, Jeff you can help with that PLEASE!!!

    S.... ....

    +SiliquaeSid : If you want to hear the 'Old ELO' - fine: put on a CD, but let Jeff do what he does best: make beautiful music ....... Even if it was just his guitar and his voice - it would sound great .....

    S.... ....

    +Amy Lovendaal Agreed, but it's the ELO sound I miss.

    S.... ....

    I understand - sorry ! It's just that I'm a little sensitive about people saying negative things about his latest album; which you didn't do. I appologize .....

    S.... ....

    +Amy Lovendaal No problem. I would never presume to criticize Jeff, he's more talent in his little finger than 20 of me. How many "stars" of today will still be producing this standard at his age, nay, How many will be alive at his age. Jeff Lynne is beyond genius. This album is fast growing on me, I'm glad I was privileged to be around at the same time as the Great Man. Peace. x

  61. J.... L....

    This is sooooo goood !!!! I´ve really been missing some new ELO.
    Thank you Jeff Lynne for making my night !!!!!!!!

  62. m.... c....

    great great song !!

  63. B.... R....

    1977 MARTA. ELO. JEFF. LYNN. HERSH. 17 MY. DEL. MAR. BEL. AIR. YES. CHRIS. SQUIRE. SURF. GIRL. RULES canyonlocalfilmscom

  64. F.... ....

    This is a brilliant track, from the excellant "Alone in the Universe" but for a great watch check out the Radio 2 Concert introduced By Jo Whiley, absolutely superb!!!

  66. 4.... 4....

    Ty for this great album. Show the kiddies how it's done!! :D

  67. M.... S....

    I saw ELO in NYC last Friday night.  The show was possibly the best live show I've ever seen.  Jeff was ON.  The sound was incredible.  Don't ever stop making music, Jeff, you are so talented.

    M.... S....

    +Mark Sacher  Say it isn't so!!!!!!  I missed it!!!!!!   What venue?????

    M.... S....

    The Irving Center

    M.... S....

    @Mark Sacher  Thanks for the reply.  I found the concert on YT.  I sang every song in the playlist.  Next best thing is YT - which most people have to do anyway.

  68. S.... R....

    Aonde eu posso comprar o novo CD ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE ?????
    """"Where can I buy the new CD ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE ?????""""

  69. S.... M....

    Jeff Lynn has always been E.L.O in ma lugs if the others want to be the ochestra let them carry on.

  70. T.... W....

    It needs more cowbell.

    T.... W....

    +Tyler Wilkerson ....and woodblock.

  71. J.... W....

    By the way .... I think ZOOM is an awesome record too .... George HArrison plays there ..... anyone who has not listened to that album ...get it!!!!!!! ..you won't regret you did!!!

  72. n.... h....

    elo is the best

  73. P.... N....

    Jeff is back !!!

  74. s.... ....

    Why wasn't anyone else allowed to play on the album?

  75. B.... K....

    How the hell does Lynne always come up with great hooks? From the Move and ELO to his solo stuff, the man knows no bad melodies.

  76. l.... S....

    Pre-chorus is very similar to 'Is it alright' off BOP.

  77. m.... ....

    jEFF OUTSTANDING AWESOME THIS IS A BEAUTIFULL SONG VERY "BEATLE" AND I LOVE IT. COME DOWN TO BUENOS AIRES, BRING US YOUR SHOW

  78. T.... L....

    tomorrow go & buy the alone in the universe and worship the god Mr. Jeff Lynn AKA Mr. Blue Sky Mr. ELO every album this genius has ever released is perfect from songs from  Wild West Hero to Showdown spend a little( time) to become a 21st century man while you sit in your Arm Chair Theatre & go to Xanadu & Back to Eldorado while you ride on the wheels  of tomorrow be glad that you did not leave you life in a plastic bag JEFF just to let you know every little thing you do , Lifts Me Up , the day I Discovered your music with secret messages when I was a boy just out of the blue I was Blown Away, Roll over Beethoven like a fish on the sand , listen to Mr. Jeff Lynn's music & your not alone any more

  79. D.... S....

    Brilliant.

  80. c.... m....

    i think it should be called MARMITE its nothing new very dissappointed at least when ROYWOOD makes an album
    you get a variety of musical styles my favs eldorado classical rock

  81. S.... S....

    I feel like these songs might tie into the Time album, and if they did that would literally make my entire life, my favorite album with this one? Too perfect

  82. C.... O....

    '...every night that's when I think of you' - haunting Jeff Lynne melody. Welcome back JF

  83. C.... ....

    The new album is very typical ELO, & could be outtakes from a decade or two earlier. That isn't necessarily a bad thing though. Songs / Production / Overall Sound = very typical ELO & these are not great songs by any means, certainly not ELO's best but they certainly aren't bad. As that well known critic said ''I'd rather fart hard under a blanket and suffer it , then dingle my dangles over a cliff if the Budgie has earphones on listening to E.L.O''

  84. K.... S....

    Jeff the legend Lynne , absolutely fantastic , can't get enough of this guy's music.

  85. 9.... ....

    Classic ELO music :) Jeff Lynne is fantastic !!

  86. L.... P....

    I think this new material sounds like Jeff Lynne not E.L.O
    E .L.O was more string orientated with lots of detail and great catchy songs.
    This sounds more like zoom. which I thought was a really good record.
    I'm not sure that Jeff should be doing everything himself. it lacks the different elements that gave the songs character. nevertheless it probably works a lot easier for him this way without the hassles. I'm looking forward to hearing more from the great man

  87. p.... r....

    awesome new elo- he sounds the same!!!!!!!

  88. G.... H....

    love this kind of music and paddy mc aloons

  89. T.... K....

    I love this song it makes me feel... AWESOME.

  90. M.... N....

    Świetne !!!  nie ma to jak powrót do lat 80 ....

  91. c.... d....

    Nice song, easy listening

  92. B.... G....

    excellent,, never lost it ..

  93. J.... L....

    This is ELO. No metter what.

    J.... L....

    Total ELO!!

  94. N.... S....

    "When the 13th of November comes"  YES!!!

  95. S.... ....

    I want them (or Jeff Lynne ) to do a proper music video with fat dinosaurs on it...

  96. G.... P....

    Nice song Jeff .... The strings are there despite what a lot of people are saying .... They probably are listening through their one millimetre sized Iphone speaker and need to listen on a "real' stereo sized system. .

  97. A.... C....

    Yeah I love ELO but you can tell he's done it cheaply in his own studio with no other musicians. It's quite good but not great. Now was the time to take a few risks and have some other artists ( especially those influenced by ELO ) be involved to spark it up!

  98. c.... f....

    On this album Jeff Lyne played every instrument, he is such a perfectionist, what a great producer, songwriter and singer! He has produced so many massive hits for others as well as himself. What a talent.

  99. K.... ....

    Is that.... autotuned? Oh dear!! It all went wrong with Discovery in my opinion. ELO were the absolute best before then. Haven't liked anything since.

  100. f.... ....

    love all of Jeff Lynne and ELO and this could be on Balance of Power/Zoom or even a B side on Secret Messages.Great to hear some new stuff! look forward to the new album massively!!
