Don't Turn Out the Lights Lyrics

Commence the day's

Familiar haze

That's set in since you've gone

How do lonely days

Pile up so fast

When each one seems so long

You tell me love still burns

But you're concerned

Soon we'll be read

Our last rites

I'm begging till then

Baby don't turn out the lights

Lying in the sunlight

That beams in between the blinds

Till the darkness trickles in

To steadily flood my bleary mind

You're afraid the sun

Will never come

Again to halt the night

I'm begging till then

Baby don't turn out the lights

I think back on my glory days

When hope shone down upon me

It seemed all the world

Was at my beck and call

But now it's been so long

Since I felt the warmth

Of someone's arms around me

Oh I really don't

Remember what it's like

Mine my mind for reasons why

I'd side my sheets to rise

With the pillow whispering in my ear

My hopes are only lies

Well the sky may fall

One day to pall

The world to its demise

I'm begging till then

Baby don't turn out the lights

I think back on my glory days

When hope shone down upon me

It seemed all the world

Was at my beck and call

But now it's been so long

Since I felt the warmth

Of someone's arms around me

Oh I really don't

Remember what it's like

You think that time

Would give us signs

To portend to the end

But I guess there is no sting

Until the bee pierces the skin

Well the earth ain't quaking

And I don't hear no

Trumpets in the sky

I'm begging till then

Baby don't turn out the lights

I'm begging till then

Baby don't turn out the lights

I'm begging till then

Baby don't turn out the lights
