Late at night when all the kids are sound asleep,
A man and his wife share a glass of wine.
They talk about the days before the children came,
And how much their lives have changed.
And she says: "I know this is not the life you dreamed
about,
"Before you chose to share your life with me.
"And if you could be anywhere on this earth tonight,
"Tell me now, where would that be?"

And he says: "Show me, the lights of home,
"And tell me what could ever shine as bright?
"Only the love that's in your eyes,
"Could make me feel the way I feel tonight.
"I'll take the times we've known,
"And the lights of home."

Later, as the night has made a turn for dawn,
They find themselves still lying in each other's arms.
Emotions of the moment mixed with memories.
What has been and what might be.
And he says: "I know you could have had your choice of
men,
"Well, some who could have brought the world to you.
"And even though you can't go back and do it all
again.
"If you could, what would you do?"

And she says: "Show me, the lights of home,
"And tell me what could ever shine as bright?
"Only the love that's in your eyes,
"Could make me feel the way I feel tonight.
"I'll take the times we've known,
"And the lights of home."

"Give me the times we've known,
"And the lights of home."
