Late At Night
Kristy Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's late at night
And I can't sleep
And so I lie
Awake and try to think
But when you hold me
The way you do
I have no choice
But to fall in love with you

It's late at night
It's late at night

And sometimes it hurts so bad
When I think about all the times we've had
And all the memories that I've made

Of us together are fallin' away
And I'm falling too
And I'm falling too

It's late at night
It's late at night
It's late at night
It's late at night

Do you think, do you see?
Do you even believe in me?
Do you feel the same leaving
Me to blame for all your pain?

Well do you think, do you see?
Do you even believe in me?
Well do you feel the same?
Leaving me to blame
For all your pain

It's late at night
It's late at night

Too late to call you've fallen asleep
And fall away from me
Too late to call you've fallen asleep
And fall away from me

Do you think, do you see?
Do you even believe in me?
Do you feel the same leaving
Me to blame for all your pain?

Well do you think, do you see?
Do you even believe in me?
Well do you feel the same?
Leaving me to blame
For all your pain





It's late at night
It's late at night
