She moves so well   'Cause she was a dancer   She went sliding through my questions   Glidin' around the answer      Whatever it was   She knew it was holy   And each time I tried to hold her   A smile comes and slowly   She said no one knows me      Could you put your light on, please   It's kind of dark tonight   And I feel a little lonely   Yes I need a little light   Could you put your light on, please   Let me hear a friendly sound   I could make it through 'til morning   If you could let your light shine down      She had a dream   I had my typewriter   While I was hacking out such a heavy world   She was weaving one much lighter      But I'll never know   Just how much it cost her   And as I slept beside her   Something turned and tossed her   And it did til I lost her      Could you put your light on, please   It's kind of dark tonight   And I feel a little lonely   Yes I need a little light   Could you put your light on, please   Let me hear a friendly sound   I could make it through 'til morning   If you could let your light shine down      Bright times were brighter   Than they'd ever been before I tell you   Night times were lighter   But they'll never   Never be no more      Could you put your light on, please   It's kind of dark tonight   And I feel a little lonely   Yes I need a little light   Oh could you put your light on, please   Let me hear a friendly sound   I could make it through 'til morning   If you could let your light shine down      Could you put your light on, please   It's kind of dark tonight   And I feel a little lonely   Yes I need a little light   Oh could you put your light on, please   Let me hear a friendly sound   I could make it through 'til morning   If you could let your light shine down      Could you put your light on, please   Let me hear a friendly sound   I could make it through 'til morning   If you could let your light shine down
