Late At Night

Porter Wagoner · Sings His Own (RCA Victor) [1971]

(Porter Wagoner)



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 stillnes

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.



(Just the way I do late at night.)

Just the way I do late at night,,,
