I can't light up no more of your darkness
All of my pictures seem to fade to black and white
Oh, I'm growing so tired and time is standing still before me
It froze up right here on the ladder of my life

It's much too late to save myself from falling
I went home and took a chance and changed your way of life
Oh,but you must have misread, misread me when I met you
Cause you closed the door and left me here, blinded by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always somebody else I see
If you just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
Cause I'm telling you that losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can't seem to find the right kind of romantic line
But if you see me once, you'll see exactly the way I feel
But don't discard me just cause you think I might mean you harm
You see these cuts I've got they need a whole lot of love to heal

Please, don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always somebody else I see
If you just allow yourself a small bit of time to wander free
The Lord isn't telling you that losing everything it's like the sun going down on me
I don't wanna loose everything, it's like the sun going down on me
