I just saw the sun go down behind a purple sky
Watched the daylight slowly fade and die
Saw two lovers close their door and turn out their bedroom light
Wishin' you were here with me tonight
Picked up a book and tried my best to read it
But love doesn't always come on the nights you need it
Lyin' here I feel so lost in this big king-size bed
Reached down and ran my fingers cross the satin spread
Thought of how it felt to lay my head upon your chest
Lord I've never felt such loneliness
Nights like this I feel I'm bein' cheated
But love doesn't always come on the nights you need it
On the nights I need you so what do I do where do I go
I need you to make me feel completed
But love doesn't always come on the nights you need it
No love doesn't always come on the nights you need it
