Late At Night

Late at night

When the feeling gets too hard to fight

He reaches for the phone

Then stops himself

Afraid that he might find she's not alone

Late at night

She lies awake and holds her pillow tight

And cries his name out loud

But she would never ever call

The lady's much too proud

Two lost and lonely people

Living apart and belonging together

Regretting that they let each other go

Two sad and stubborn people

Giving up their chance at forever

Never letting one another know

They still need each other so

Late at night

Waiting out the hours 'til it's light

They know how wrong they've been

But both of them are caught up in believing

Reaching out means giving in

So he hopes that he'll stop hurtin'

And she prays she'll be all right

And they both wait for the morning

Late at night

Two foolish, frightened people

Giving up their chance at forever

Never letting one another know

They still want each other so

Late at night

Waiting out the hours 'til it's light

They know how wrong they've been

But both of them are caught up in believin'

Reaching out means giving in

So he settles down to drinkin'

She takes another pill to keep from thinkin'

And neither makes a move to make it right

As they both wait for the morning

Late at night
