alone just sitting here
thinking of you 'til it hurts
you're young so innocent
without a care in the world
you're there, but not visible
my expectations become

but do you think it's right
and do you think it's right
crying in the night
for crying in the night
ohh in the night

my road was different
there's so much that you have to learn
a little hand in mine
and all the smiles and laughter is fine
wherever i'll be land or sea
i will care for thee

but do you think it's right
and do you think it's right
crying in the night
for crying in the night
ohh in the night

each day provides its own gifts
time brings all to pass
writing comes more easily
when you've got something to say

you're young and beautiful
have no enemy but time
in time, take time
when time does last
for time is no time
when time is passed

but do you think it's right
and do you think it's right
crying in the night
for crying in the night
ohh in the night
