Late At Night

Now don't you cry, I'll tell you why

I come'n home real soon

Just look up at the sky, the stars will get us by

I may be half a world away, but never left your side

It's with you I'll  abide

And you will be my bride

Remember how I pledged my love to thee

You stoled my heart and set it free



Don't think that this foreign war

Can keep me from my quest

Returning to our nest and giving you my best

Just close your eyes and feel the breeze

It's my hands touching you

And when my time is through

There'll only be us two

But just for now, pretend I'm holding you 

This late at night, it's what I always do
