Lyrics

No Phone Calls In The Night
By Aubrey Atwater

I'd like to tell you now that everything's ok
The children are asleep in their beds
The downstairs lights are off
And both the doors are locked
The cars are safely parked
For the night

Chorus
Another day another life
Another week
And we are all in our bed
So warm and clean
I put my hand on your hair
And tell you that
Right now, right here,
This time everything's alright

Setting my alarm I think
That these are precious times
When everything's ok
No loss, no hospital,
No accident, no fight
No fire, no scare, no phone calls in the night

Chorus
Another day another life
Another week
And we are all in our bed
So warm and clean
I put my hand on your hair
And tell you that
Right now, right here,
This time everything's alright
