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  [bad word] this rain and [bad word] 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  [bad word] 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
