I remember when we were young Kids playing wild and free Ain't no weeping, ain't no sorrows All these passing years So why the tears are falling so While crying deeply Wondering through a shallow land With no escape for me We all dream Leafless in the forest The only life Is drying out in the Sun The same dream Always there returning I better run Better run away You can leave the light on If you're afraid of the dark Sleeping with the light on To fight back the night is sometimes hard You can leave the light on Sleeping with the light on The Sun has left me for too long My days are painted gray Memories come rushing in I wish my love had stayed Again the tears are falling down I cry myself to sleep My heart is heavy in overload I need a song to weep This old heart Keeps the fire burning The flame Is lingering deep inside And the pain Has always been returning I better run Better run away You can leave the light on If you're afraid of the dark Sleeping with the light on To fight back the night is sometimes hard You can leave the light on Sleeping with the light on I remember when we were young Kids playing wild and free Ain't no weeping, ain't no sorrows All these passing years I Keep this fire burning Better run I better run away You can leave the light on If you're afraid of the dark Sleeping with the light on To fight back the night is sometimes hard You can leave the light on Sleeping with the light on Sleeping with the light on
