Somewhere Other Than the Night Lyrics
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"
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
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
She wants to know she's needed
She needs to be held tight
Somewhere other than the night
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
REPEAT CHORUS
To know she;s needed
She needs to be held tight
Somewhere other than the night
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"
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
When their eyes met, they both began to smile
Somewhere other than the night
She needs to hear I love you
Somewhere other than the night
She needs to know you care
She wants to know she's needed
She needs to be held tight
Somewhere other than the night
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
She needs to be held tight
Somewhere other than the night

Well, my friend and i started signing to her.... it was pretty sweet. Anyway... i haven't heard this song in a while.. i think i will go play it
I think it's about a couple whose love life is at a standstill. They're kind of frustrated where things have gone. But then that rainy day they re-discover each other. Love isn't just something you do in bed at night. Love is something you have to have all the time. You've got to love someone "somewhere other than (just) the night."
well said! It means that sex isn't the only way to show someone you love them... right?
