Somewhere Other Than the Night

Garth Brooks

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
