The clock ticks past another hour
Another night slowly burns past
And though upon arrival my countenance was sour
I know I soon will be in your embrace, at last
Once again I am exhausted
But I must put the long day behind me
While the dew on my windowsill has frosted
I know where my warm comfort will be
For it is only by your side
That I ever wish to stay
Through midnight’s long ride
Together we will lay
As the hazards of the world appear
To loom in my face
I know I need not fear
In this peaceful place
While the night may be long
And my spirit weary
You will whisper a loving song
To make my soul less dreary
How could I survive a day
Without your gentle touch?
I do not see a way
My dear, you mean so much
Another night slowly burns past
And though upon arrival my countenance was sour
I know I soon will be in your embrace, at last
Once again I am exhausted
But I must put the long day behind me
While the dew on my windowsill has frosted
I know where my warm comfort will be
For it is only by your side
That I ever wish to stay
Through midnight’s long ride
Together we will lay
As the hazards of the world appear
To loom in my face
I know I need not fear
In this peaceful place
While the night may be long
And my spirit weary
You will whisper a loving song
To make my soul less dreary
How could I survive a day
Without your gentle touch?
I do not see a way
My dear, you mean so much
