I can’t light no more of your darkness All my pictures seem to fade to black and white I’m growing tired and time stands still before me Frozen here on the ladder of my life

Too late to save myself from falling I took a chance and changed your way of life But you misread my meaning when I met you Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don’t let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can’t find the right romantic line But see me once and see the way I feel Don’t discard me just because you think I mean you harm But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal

Don’t let the sun go down on me (Don’t let the sun) Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free (Don’t let the sun) But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Don’t let the sun go down on me (Don’t let the sun) Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free (Don’t let the sun) But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
