Late At Night (feat. Vickie Randle) – George Benson
By
Late at night When the feeling gets too hard to fight He reaches for the phone Then stops himself Afraid that he might 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 too proud
Two lost and lonely people Living apart and belonging together Regretting that they let each other go Two sad and stubborn people Giving up their chance at forever Never letting one another know They still need each other so
Late at night Waiting out the hours ’til it’s 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 hurtin’ And she prays she’ll be all right And they both wait for the morning Late at night
Two foolish, frightened people Giving up their chance at forever Never letting one another know They still want each other so
Late at night Waiting out the hours ’til it’s light They know how wrong they’ve been But both of them are caught up in believin’ Reaching out means giving in
So he settles down to drinkin’ She takes another pill to keep from thinkin’ And neither makes a move to make it right As they both wait for the morning Late at night
