Won't you please turn up the lights
I can't hardly see
Thank you kindly but that don't help
Maybe it's just me
It seems I've had this problem since
My baby packed up to leave
(chorus)
You see she used to be my sunshine
Now we're far apart
Night is fallin' in my heart
Oh, the light is slowly fading
Skies are growing dark
Night is fallin' in my heart
Could you pull those curtains back
And let the morning in
What's that you say? Oh, is that a fact?
Well it still seems mighty dim
I guess I'll just have to live this way
Unless my baby comes back again
(chorus)
And as the last ray of love
Slowly disappears
Alone in this endless night
I just see one thing clear
(chorus)
