Could You Put Your Light On Please? Lyrics - Harry Chapin

She moved so well 'cause she was a dancer, 

She went sliding through my questions, 

gliding 'round the answer. 

Whatever it was, she knew it was holy, 

And each time I tried to hold her 

her smile came sad 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 till 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.
