On the sands of time
We have walked, your hand in mine
My memory's photographs are kind
But more in love than pictures fade
Like sunsets disappear
Aimless lovers dream
But they're just castles made of sand
Before an endless wave of love's demands
All that once was treasured here
Is slowly washed away
Leave your light on for me
Leave your light on for me
Leave your light on for me
Keep your light on for me
I'm a hopeless moon
Above a cold and empty sea,
A partial ray of sun exposing me,
Lost without a warming touch,
The earth has come between
Like a distant star
On a dark and cloudless night,
You're always burning, always bright
But I'm an island far from you
Where skies are never clear
Leave your light on for me
Leave your light on for me
Leave your light on for me
Keep the light on for me
I love you, darlin', don't give up too soon
The light of love will find this hopeless moon
I love you, darlin', don't give up too soon
The light of love
Leave your light on for me
Oh, Leave your light on for me
Leave your light on for me
Keep the light on for me
Leave your light on for me
Oh, leave your light on for me
Leave your light on for me
Keep the light on for me
Oh, I love you, darlin', don't give up too soon
The light of love will find this hopeless moon
I pray the God of love His light to shine,
Illuminate this lonely heart of mine
(Up too soon, hopeless moon)
Light of love
(Light to shine, heart of mine)
Light of love
(Up too soon)
Will find this hopeless moon
(hopeless moon)
Oh, I love you, darlinc
