and when the evening’s wearing thin   and i know you’re probably already asleep   it seems your body’s growin’ cold   and the days are feeling longer than our weeks      outside the ground is freezing now   and december’s coming-on is much too fast   and as the year is dying out   i hope this winter will not end up as our last      and i know   it’s just the pain of growing old   it reaches deep to the corners of our souls   but looking back on the fifty years we had   i couldn’t say that a single one was bad      i’m on my knees in the night   i’m praying to the lord above   oh that he will bless our lives   oh that he will bless our love   i’m on my knees in the night, i’m on my knees   i’m on my knees in the night, i’m on my knees      and when i know our youth is gone   it’s now safely locked behind our photographs   and though our lives are harder now   you still find the perfect way to make me laugh      and when i am a little scared   cause i know that one day one of us will pass   i’m sure i shouldn’t think this way   i can’t imagine you not right here by my side      but our eyes, they are younger than they seem   when i see you, feels like we’re still twenty-three   and looking back way back when i learned your name   from that day on, oh i’d do it all the same      i’m on my knees in the night   praying to the lord above   oh that he will bless our lives   oh that he will bless our love   i’m on my knees in the night,    i don’t know which way we should go   i pray the lord will use us still   or that he will call us home   i’m on my knees in the night, i’m on my knees   i’m on my knees in the night, i’m on my knees      and when the evening’s wearing thin   and i know you’re probably already asleep   these words will whisper in your ear   i’m in love with you   i’m in love with you
