don t let the sun go down on me

Dolly Parton

I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growin' tired, and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
It's too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meanin' when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light, oh

Don't let the sun go down on me (Don't let the sun)
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, oh
Oh, but losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me
Mm-mm, oh-oh, mm-mm

I can't find, oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Oh, don't discard me (No)
just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have
oh, they need love to help them heal, oh

Don't let the sun go down on me (Don't let the sun)
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
(To wander free)
Oh yeah, oh yeah (Oh yeah)
But losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me

Don't let the sun (Oh)
Don't let the sun (No, no)
Don't let the sun go down (Oh)

Don't let the sun go down (Don't let the sun)
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
(To wander free, yeah)
But losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me (Oh)

Don't let the sun go down on me
