Somewhere other than the night

[Verse 1] He could see the storm clouds rollin' across the hill He barely beat the rain in from the field And between the backdoor slammin' she heard him say "Damn this rain and damn this wasted day" [Verse 2] But she'd been waitin' for this day for oh-so-long She was standin' in the kitchen with nothin' but her apron on And in disbelief he stood and he stared a while But when their eyes met, they both began to smile [Chorus] Somewhere other than the night She needs to hear I love you Somewhere other than the night She needs to know you care And she wants to know she's needed And she needs to be held tight Somewhere other than the night [Verse 3] They spent the day wrapped up in a blanket on the front porch swing He'd come to realize he'd neglected certain things And there are times she feels alone even by his side It was the first time, she ever saw him cry [Chorus] Somewhere other than the night She needs to hear I love you Somewhere other than the night She needs to know you care And she wants to know she's needed And she needs to be held tight Somewhere other than the night [Outro] To know she's needed She needs to be held tight Somewhere other than the night
