Don't turn out the light, stay beside me just for a little while
I needed to talk to you, to understand the meaning
Can't take the dark just now, oh I know you can't change your plan
I'm not asking you to, just can't hold my feelings
There's plans already made, new foundations laid
I can read it clear, in your eyes tonight
I can't find the words, and I don't know the lines
Only stay a while, I need your smile once before you go
And babe, don't turn out the light
I just need some time, if you could see me through
Just another day or two before you leave
I could find my feet again
It's not so much to ask, you know I'd do the same for you
If our roles were changed and you were down on the ground
I'd try to ease the pain
We've changed around again, like others change their clothes
It's hard to know what's wrong or right
I can't find the words, and I don't know the lines
Only stay a while, I need your smile once before you go
And babe, don't turn out the light
Babe, don't turn out the light
