The Healing of the Night

The Healing of the Night
 As the days grow short with the fading of the light
 There are times I've wandered too far into the night
 Without a star where no angel appeared
 Without a hope and a heart full of tears
 Then I wait for you --
 And the healing of the night
 with your body close to mine
 The healing of the night
 And your warmth like summer wine
 And in the darkness I come home again
 To the light in you, the light in you, my friend
 It's hard to keep believing when the journey seems so long
 Hard to find the reason without the angel's song
 Feeling tossed like a bird on the wind
 Feeling lost, and so far from a friend
 Then I come home to you
 So I wait and wonder in the silence of the night
 Listening for the music and the promise of the light
 Only love and the touch of your hand
 Only love brings the dawn once again
 I believe in you
