Shutting Out The Light
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I left the light in my window burning bright for you
And the door to this heart of mine I left that open too
We once had a love together I believe that it was true
But now you search for somethin' better so I'm shutting out the light on you
Yes I'm shutting out the light in my window locking up the heart that beats for you
This heart of mine can't take it any longer so I'm shutting out the light on you
[ guitar ]
I still recall when you told me but I've made your every dream come true
But we now are dreaming of another but baby are you only foolin' you
If I had a chance I'd wait forever there's no use pursuing what's not true
This heart of mine can't take it any longer so I'm shutting out the light on you
Yes I'm shutting out the light...
