If It wasn’t for the nights

If It wasn’t for the nights
I got appointments
work I have to do
keepin’ me so busy
all the day through
they’re the things that keep me
from thinkin’ of you
oh baby, I miss you so
I know I’m never gonna make it
oh, I’m so restless
I don’t care what I say
and I lose my temper
ten times a day
still it’s even worse when
the night’s on its way
it’s bad
oh, so bad

Somehow I’d be doin’ alright
if it wasn’t for the nights
I’d have courage left to fight
if it wasn’t for the nights
how I fear the time
when shadows start to fall
sittin’ here alone
and starin’ at the wall
even I could see a light
if it wasn’t for the nights
somehow I’d be doin’ alright
if it wasn’t for the nights
No one to turn to
you know how it is
I was not prepared for
something like this
now I see them clearly
the things that I miss
oh baby, I feel so bad
I know I’m never gonna make it
I got my business
to help me through the day
people I must write to
bills I must pay
but everything’s so different
when night’s on its way
it’s bad
oh, so bad
Somehow I’d be doin’ alright
if it wasn’t for the nights
I’d have courage left to fight
if it wasn’t for the nights
how I fear the time
when shadows start to fall
sittin’ here alone
and starin’ at the wall
even I could see a light
if it wasn’t for the nights
guess my future would look bright
if it wasn’t for the nights
