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
