I come home from work
At the end of the day,
And I feel such joy
When you smile my way.
I hold you closely
Then sit down to rest
With you by my side
And I feel my best.
The night draws closer,
But we pull apart
And I start to feel
Such pain in my heart.
Without you near me
To help ease the pain,
I find I’m alone
And crying again.
