Hold back the night
Turn on the light
Don't wanna dream about you, baby
Hold back the night
Turn on the light
Don't wanna dream about you, baby

When you left
You took the sun
Right out of my sky
Yes, you did
Wonder why
You went away
And never told me why

When the sun go down
The moon is near
I'm scared to death
'Cause your face appear

Hold back the night
Turn on the light
Don't wanna dream about you, baby
Hold back the night
Turn on the light
Don't wanna dream about you, baby

Loneliness
Holding me
When I go to bed, yes, it is
Like a character
In a book
That I have read

When the sun go down
The moon is near
I'm scared to death
'Cause your face appear

Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, yeah

Woo

Hold back the night
Turn on the light
Don't wanna dream about you, baby
I said hold back the night
Turn on the light
Don't wanna dream about you, baby
Hold back the night
Turn on the light
Don't wanna dream about you, baby
Hold back the night
Turn on the light
Don't wanna dream about you, baby
Hold back the night
Turn on the light
I don't wanna dream about you, baby
Hold back the night
Turn on the light
I don't wanna dream about you, baby
Hold back the night
Turn on the light
Turn on the light
Hold back the night
Turn on the light
