Turn off the light

I hear your footsteps down the hall It's getting late, I know the call

I pull the covers over tight Strive to read by TV light

You crack the door and shake your head A warning glance, then what you said

Time to sleep, kid, say goodnight No more stories, turn off the light

Turn off the light, dad, but stay for a while Tell me a story, make me smile

The world feels big, but here I'm small Safe in the glow of your shadow on the wall

Years went by, and so did I Late night talks turned into goodbyes

I chased the dreams, I left the town But every night I hear the sound

Of your voice like a lullaby Still echoes deep inside my mind

Rest your head, it's all alright Close your eyes, now turn off the light
