Late At Night

(album: Porter Wagoner Sings His Own - 1971)

You look at me with eyes of admiration
As though you'd like to live a life like mine
You just seen me smile with happy conversation
But there's something deep within I must hide

The love that's lived and died inside of me
If there was just some way you could see
Would make you scream and cry at the sight
Just the way I do late at night
Just the way I do late at night

There are some that look at me with envy
Because I smile a lot just to hide
The hurt I've brought to those that have loved me
But couldn't understand me deep inside

The love that's lived and died inside of me
If there was just some way you could see
Would make you scream and cry at the sight
Just the way I do late at night
Just the way I do late at night

Sometimes late at night in the stillness
My mind turns through the pages of my past
Trying some way to find the reason
Why I couldn't get true love to last

The love that's lived and died inside of me
If there was just some way you could see
Would make you scream and cry at the sight
Just the way I do late at night
Just the way I do late at night
