Late at Night Lyrics

Late at night
A candle's burning
My child's asleep
I am yearning
How come you
Can't be here right now

Untangling my thoughts
Wondering why
I still have to wait
All that time
Why can't you be here
With me tonight?

I know it doesn't help much
To tell you how I miss you
It doesn't even help much to start crying
It doesn't help much to act as if this ain't true
Because I'm no good at hiding

How I wish
I could kiss him
How I wish
I could breathe his skin
Could just melt away in his arms tonight.
