Lyrics The Light - Brothers Page

The Light

I fell in love with a young soul
The innocence, it drove me wild
She’s got the body of a grown girl
But the wondrous eyes of a child
The shine is fading away
But you really don’t, really don’t, really don’t mind
Gone by the end of the day
Singin' if it’s not now
How can it last forever?
Could’ve been a love song
Could’ve been a big one
Could’ve been you and I up all night keepin' the light goin'
Couldn’t keep the light goin'
Let’s keep the light burnin'
We walk on down that long and winding road
Each step you take drivin' me wild
We dress my truth up in your trendy clothes
But now all they see is how it’s styled
The shine is fading way
But you really don’t, really don’t, really don’t mind
Gone by the end of the day
Singin' if it’s not now
How can it last forever?
Could’ve been a love song
Could’ve been a big one
Could’ve been you and I up all night keepin' the light goin'
They couldn’t keep the light goin'
Let’s keep the light burnin' on
Let’s keep the light goin' on
Let’s keep the light burning on
Let’s keep the light burning on
Yeah
I sing you a love song
A big one
That coulda-woo-coulda-woo but I
Couldn’t keep the light going
Could’ve been a love song
Could’ve been a big one
Coulda, woulda, shoulda but I
Let’s keep the light burning on
The shine is fading away
But you really don’t, really don’t, really don’t mind
And I can still hear you say
If only centuries were miles away
If only centuries were miles away
Could’ve been a love song
Could’ve been a big one
Could’ve been you and I up all night keepin' the light goin'
They couldn’t keep the light goin'
Let’s keep the light burnin' on
