Why must I wait for the morning sun to rise

That maybe then I can rest my eyes

So I won't think of you and our used-to-be's

Cause I can't turn the night

No I can't turn the night

OhI can't turn the night off



I watch the ceiling dance thru my midnight eyes

A screen on which I fantasize

All of our yesterdays and our used-to-be's

OhI can't turn the night

No I can't turn the night

OhI can't turn the night off



If only you and I were together now

We'd make it somehow

We were so young before; we didn't realize

You can't take back the goodbyes



And so I wait for the morning sun to rise

That maybe then I can close my eyes

So I won't look at you and our used-to-be's

And I can't turn the night

NoI can't turn the night

OhI can't turn the night off
