A Daylight Walk at Night

She was a friend of a friend of mine

She was funny and fun and fine

Great times hangin' out, playing cards and basketball

But now I can't recognize her at all

She wanted to feel more beautiful

Take the spotlight and be a supermodel

But she lost a part of herself

While becoming somebody else

And she said to her mirror,

"Are you the love

I'm dreaming of?

Can you hold me so

that you will never let go?"

I met a girl just the other day

She was beautiful, or so they would say

But when I talked to her I nearly fell apart

She had a wretched, rotten, beaten, broken heart

Prince charming she dreamed of

But couldn't find him

Among the boys in the night club

Though she flirted with all of them

And she said to each next boy,

"Are you the love

I'm dreaming of?

Can you hold me so

that you will never let go?"

I saw some girls on their way to the bar

I was cut to the heart by how lost they are

Did even one of them understand?

She was chained up by her own hand

Love was just an emotion

She just didn't have

Alcohol was her potion

As she found herself sad

And she said to the bottle,

"Are you the love

I'm dreaming of?

Can you hold me so

that you will never let go?"

In the dark of the night

Will Jesus come in?

He can make messes right

And wash off chains of sin...

And He says,

"I am the love

you're dreaming of

I will hold you so

that I will never let go."
