Hey, did you happen to see my sweet baby?



He was walkin on down the road



Tell him for me that if you see him tonight



Everything is alright



'Cause I know how he gets when he's low



Oh, he's a beautiful man



Kinda hard to understand but



He's the only good man that I know



Won't you tell him for me



I'm keepin a light shinin in the window



Just in case he decides to come home



Shining in the window just in case he decides to come home



(He's a beautiful man, kinda hard to understand)



But he's the only good man that I know



Won't you tell him for me? (Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him)



I'm keeping a light (Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him) shining in the window



Just in case he decides to come home (ooh, ah)



Shining in the window



Just in case he decides to come home



Oh, we had quite a spat and that was all that but



We both said things that we didn't mean



Won't you tell him for me (Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him)



I'm keeping a light (Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him) shining in the window



Just in case he decides to come home (ooh, ah)



Shining in the window



In case he decides to come home



I'm keepin (ooh, ah) a light, baby



Just in case he decides to come home



Can't (ooh, ah) you see the light?



Can't (ooh, ah) you see the light?



Keepin (ooh, ah) a light, baby



Just in case he decides to come home



Oh, (Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him) just in case, just in case



I'm keeping a light, baby (Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him)



Just in case, just in case



Oh say can you see (Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him)



My light, shinin,' shining, (Just in case) shining



I wonder can you see my light shinin, (Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him, just in case) burnin, shinin, burnin, shinin, burnin
