It's been a hard week, a hard year
And our love's been tested on every side
Between the homework and holidays and me on the road

Been missing you and me time
I've gotta let you know I'm not okay
Barely seeing you from day to day

Like ships pass in the night
(Chorus)..
So baby, how 'bout we go right now

Put the kids down
Put on our song, light some candles
Turn the lights out

Leave the dishes, leave the mess
Let me hold you in the stillness tonight
Let's keep the fire alive


I promised I'd take care of you and cherish you
That's what I'm gonna do

And I wanna know just how you feel
What makes you laugh or sends you cryin to your room
My daddy said, "Son, every man's

Gotta stoke that fire all he can
And never let the flame die"
Chorus

The wind's gonna come and try to blow it out
The rain's gonna fall and try to press it down
The world's gonna tell us this can't be done

But, baby, if we try, I believe there's still better to come
Chorus
