Leave the light on when you go to bed
As, as you rest your weary head
Yes, yes it's been a long old day for us
I climb beside you, safe and warm
How, how we've longed to be back home
Yes, yes it's been a long old day for us
And it's hard for you
And it's hard for me
And there's nothing we can do
But cry peacefully
And it's hard for you
And it's hard for me
And there's nothing we can do
But cry peacefully
You lie there thinking what to say
How, how is it you feel this way?
Yes, yes I promise you that things will change
I feel you shiver next to me
You may close your eyes but you still see
Yes, yes I know you love me all the same
And it's hard for you
And it's hard for me
And there's nothing we can do
But cry peacefully
And it's hard for you
And it's hard for me
And there's nothing we can do
But cry peacefully
And it's hard for you
And it's hard for me
And there's nothing we can do
But cry peacefully
And it's hard for you
And it's hard for me
And there's nothing we can do
But cry peacefully
Leave the light on when you go to bed
As, as you rest your weary head
Yes, yes it's been a long old day for us
