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

 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

 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

 To know she's needed
 She needs to be held tight
 Somewhere other than the night
