Late at Night - George Benson

Late at night

when the feeling gets to hard to fight

he reaches for the phone

then stops himself afraid that he may find she’s not alone

Late at night

she lies awake and holds her pillow tight

and cries his name out loud

but she would never ever call

the Lady’s much to proud

two lost and lonely people

living apart and belonging together

regretting that they let each other go ohhhh

two sad and starving people

giving up the chance of forever

never letting one and other know

they still need each other so

late at night

waiting out the hours till its light

they know how wrong they’ve been

but both of them are caught up in believing

reaching out means giving in

so he hopes that he’ll stop hurting

and she prays she’ll be alright

and they both wait for the morning

late at night

two foolish frightened people

giving up a chance at forever

never letting one an other know

they still want each other so

late at night

waiting out the hours till its light

they know how wrong they’ve been

but both of them are caught up in believing

reaching out means giving in

and so he settle down to drinking

she takes another pill to keep from thinking

and neither makes a move to make it right

as they both wait for the morning

late at night
