The night was dark, there was no moon above I told my girl, yeah, this was a night for love So we went parkin', yeah, and the night was just right When someone grabbed me and I knew I was in a fight.
It was a night of the phantom, yeah I remember that look in his eyes It was a night of the phantom, yeah Well I'll remember till the day I die.
He grabbed my throat, I could feel the blade of his knife I touched his hand 'cause I knew he would take my life I looked in his face, I saw the hate in his eyes I looked at my girl and I heard her helpless cry, woah.
It was a night of the phantom, yeah I remember that look in his eyes It was a night of the phantom, yeah Well I'll remember till the day I die.
Then something happened to him, he had a funny glare He turned away, I could almost smell death in the air Well thankful I am, but I'll never know to this day What made him turn and slowly walk away.
It was a night of the phantom, yeah It was a night of the phantom, yeah...
