The Light Lyrics - Regina Spektor

The light was shining in my eyes before I closed them 

And all the dreams I had the night before came back 

The faces that I'd seen looked so familiar 

But they're just strangers, I haven't met them yet 

I know the morning is wiser than the evening 

I know that wrong and right can sometimes look the same 

So many things I know, but they don't help me 

Each day I open up my eyes and start again 

The light comes shining in my eyes 

The light comes shining in my eyes 

The light comes shining in my eyes 

The light comes shining in my eyes 

So many stories I want to tell you 

I wish that I could show you the many things I've seen 

You and your daddy, you both look like poets 

Your eyes are open wide while you are in a dream

I know the morning is wiser than the nighttime 

I know there's nothing wrong, I shouldn't feel so down 

So many things I know, but they don't help me 

Each day I open up my eyes to look around 

The sun comes shining in my eyes 

The sun comes shining in my eyes 

The sun comes shining in my eyes 

The sun comes shining in my eyes 

Are closed now 

Count the stars inside your mind 

Count the breaths, count heartbeats 

Count the sounds of life 

The light was shining in my eyes before I closed them 

And all the dreams I had the night before were gone 

The faces that I'd seen looked so familiar 

But I forgot them all when I saw the sun

I know the morning is wiser than the evening 

I know that all of life just happens in between 

So many things I know, but they don't help me 

Each day I open up my eyes and it begins 

The light comes shining in my eyes 

The light comes shining in my eyes 

The light comes shining in my eyes 

The light comes shining in my eyes 

The light, the light, the light, the light 

The light, the light
