She moved so well 'cause she was a dancer, She went sliding through my questions, Gliding 'round the answer. Whatever it was, she knew it was holy, And each time i tried to hold her Her smile came sad and slowly. She said, "no one knows me." Could you put your light on please, it's kind of dark tonight. And i feel a little lonely, yes, i need a little light. Could you put your light on please, let me hear a friendly sound. I could make it through 'til morning if you could let your light shine down. She had a dream, i had my typewriter. While i was hacking out such a heavy world She was weaving one much lighter. But i'll never know just how much it cost her, And as i slept beside her something turned and tossed her. And it did till i lost her. Could you put your light on please, it's kind of dark tonight. And i feel a little lonely, yes, i need a little light. Could you put your light on please, let me hear a friendly sound. I could make it through 'til morning if you could let your light shine down. Bright times were brighter than they'd ever been before, i tell you, Night times were lighter, but they'll never, never be no more. Could you put your light on please, it's kind of dark tonight. And i feel a little lonely, yes, i need a little light. Could you put your light on please, let me hear a friendly sound. I could make it through 'til morning if you could let your light shine down.
