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.
