    By far my favourite song of the year. I remember seeing this as a kid and being blown away. I wish it had won instead of Bobbysox.

    Long live life
    It's night in the city but I don't see any stars
    A thousand stars aren't shining
    They're left behind a grey veil
    It's night in the city, I stayed in the park with you
    You're standing in front me full of hope
    And your eyes are telling me this

    Long live life and the night
    Long live the dark sky and the belt of stars
    Wish like I do that a star doesn't hit a star
    The feeling of sympathy
    Which grandfather told of is what the earth needs
    So that the children of the world can watch the stars

    It's night in the city, I see your starry eyes
    Under a good friends arm
    I'll hide my furry head
    I am happy because I stayed with you
    You're standing in front of me full of hope
    And your eyes are telling me this

    Long live life and the night
    Long live the dark sky and the belt of stars
    Wish like I do that a star doesn't hit a star
    The feeling of sympathy

    So that the children of the world can watch the stars

      I once sang in a production of a Finnish opera, Kullervo by Salinen, alongside Finnish singers. I remember the Finnish language coach had to work very hard with us non Finnish singers to get that wide mouth position for the vowel 'a.' It is very specific . I think that Sonja's voice was powerful with a rock feel and like the song.
