In the Night

Marriage when it works

In the Night

Having her with me in the night
Just her presence there beside me
Can make the world become just right
I cannot explain what I see
Having her with me in the night.

To feel her warmth and smell her hair
Reaching to stroke her sleeping face
Can end a day’s worry and care
With her presence, her strength and grace,
To feel her warmth and smell her hair.

Having her with me in the night
Feeling her moving to my arms
Her sigh can make the world alright
I hold her, keeping both from harm
Having her with me in the night.
