(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)

Oh every soul
Needs to have someone
Needs to have someone to hold his hand

And every hand needs to hold on to
The hand of another
The hand of a friend

But it's alright babe
Cause I know how you feel
Deep in the night babe
When you feel the chill
The chill of the night babe
When you turn out the light babe
I'll hold you tight babe
If you will in the night babe
In the chill of the night babe

Are you looking for someone
Someone you can talk to
You know I don't expect you to always be strong
I'll be around long after midnight
We'll sit by the firelight
Talkin' you down

But it's alright babe
Cause I know how you feel
Deep in the night babe
When you feel the chill
The chill of the night babe
When you turn out the light babe
I'll hold you tight babe
If you will in the night babe
In the chill of the night babe

Put a light in the window
And just keep it burning
Cause whenever you need me I come to you
Cause every heart that keeps on beating
Needs to have someone
He can always turn to
In the chill of the night
In the chill of the night babe
