Oh every soul
Needs to have someone
Needs to have someone to hold his hand
And every hand needs to hold on to
The hand of another
The hand of a friend

But it's alright babe
Cause I know how you feel
Deep in the night babe
When you feel the chill
The chill of the night babe
When you turn out the light babe
I'll hold you tight babe
If you will in the night babe
In the chill of the night babe

Are you looking for someone
Someone you can talk to
You know I don't expect you to always be strong
I'll be around long after midnight
We'll sit by the firelight
Talkin' you down

But it's alright babe
Cause I know how you feel
Deep in the night babe
When you feel the chill
The chill of the night babe
When you turn out the light babe
I'll hold you tight babe
If you will in the night babe
In the chill of the night babe

Put a light in the window
And just keep it burning
Cause whenever you need me I come to you
Cause every heart that keeps on beating
Needs to have someone
He can always turn to
In the chill of the night
In the chill of the night babe

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
