Deep in the night I remember,
That I’m reaching for you
Wanting to turn to you,
That’s all I want, oh, so much, deep in the night
I need you to touch me
Deep in the night
I wait for day light,
Day times I always get through
But when the sun goes down,
That’s when I feel cold and old,
Deep in the night
I need you to hold me
Read a book and I think about you
Put it down and I think about you
I make some coffee and I think about you
Wash out the cup and I think about you
Wind the clock and think about you
Turn out the light and I think about you
Then I punch the pillow and I think about you
Deep in the night I get lonely
Why didn’t I try someone new?
It didn’t work out!
I know,
Don’t I know, don’t I know
Because I tried, I tried
Deep in the night
I need you beside me
Deep, so deep in the night…
