Coda: (strum)

I'm sorry that the lyrics are not entered under the tab, but since this song

is played so slow, to make it fit, I would have to put about one measure per

line. I hope this works-- I've entered numbers in the TAB (1*,2*,3*,...) that

correspond to the begining of the line in the lyrics.

1* He could see the storm clouds rollin' across the hill

2* He barely beat the rain in from the field

3* And between the back door slammin' she heard him say

4* Damn this rain and damn this wasted day

5* But she'd been waitin' for this day for oh so long

6* She was standin' in the kitchen with nothin' but her apron on

7* And in disbelief he stood and he stared a while

8* When their eyes met they both began to smile

Chorus:

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

And she needs to be held tight

Somewhere other than the night

9* They spent the day wrapped up in a blanket on the front porch swing

10* He'd come to realize he'd neglected certain things

11* And there are times she feels alone even by his side

12* It was the first time she ever saw him cry

Chorus:

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

And she needs to be held tight

Somewhere other than the night

To know she's needed

But she needs to be held tight

Somewhere other than the night
