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
