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
