Leave a light on

Round and round, hold him tight, please
Round and round, you spin him with graceful ease
Last calls you head for the door
Last kiss, and Daddy ain't here no more
Outside, the rain will fall
But no
one's gonna come and make up for it all

Dark days you won't make a sound
The love's gone, the love that used to abound
He sinks deep into himself
A lost child with nowhere to turn for help
Outside, the rain will fall
But no one's
gonna come and make up for it all

Tell him you won't go away again
Say you'll be there when he needs a friend
Leaving a broken heart to mend
Just leave the light on
Daddy, leave the light on, please

He stands tall, he lived throught it all
So hard, finding pride after the fall
Don't explain, don't even begin
If you'd cared, you should have been there for him
Outside, the rain will fall
But no one's gonna come and make up for it all

Tell him you won't go away again
Say you'll be there when he needs a friend
Leaving a broken heart to mend
Just leave the light on
Daddy, leave the light on, please
