On Nights Like This

No matter what anyone says
Time doesn't pull you through
'Cause there are nights when I still cry
When I think of you

Sometimes it swallows me
This space I feel inside
I think of how strong you were
And it helps me to get by

And all those nights
When you would come to me in my dreams
I thought I was losing my mind
But it's the sanest I've ever been

And on those days
When life seems too much
I hear your voice
And I'm comforted by your touch

On nights like this I know
You're still here with me
On nights like this I know
You're in a better place

On nights like this I pray
I may be with you again someday
On nights like this I pray
That I may be worthy someday

There's the anger
That blocked out the light
There's the doubts
That held me captive night after night

The endless hours I spent asking why
And there's so many evil people
It just doesn't seem right

On nights like this I know
You're still here with me
On nights like this I know
You're in a better place

On nights like this I pray
I may be with you again someday
On nights like this I pray
That I may be worthy someday

I remember the night
When I held you in my arms
Trying to give you the strength
And the will to hold on

And you looked in my eyes
And said, "Baby, be strong"
I don't want to leave you
But it's time for me to go

And at that moment
As your hand slipped out of mine
A tear rolled down
As you closed your eyes for the last time

And all the pain
That had been written on your face
Suddenly disappeared
And by a smile it was replaced

On nights like this I know
You're still here with me
On nights like this I know
You're in a better place

On nights like this I pray
I may be with you again someday
On nights like this I pray
That I may be worthy someday
