It's midnight, it's raining
I just stroll out on the street
I've been waiting in the shadows
Getting soaked down to my feet
I just wait here every night
Till you com home
And I know that every night
You won't be alone
Here comes a taxi round the corner
You'll pay the fare
And you'll hold the door
Up the taircase trying to find your keys
My poor heart can take no more
And I keep thinging
By the way it used to be
When the one who held you so tight
Used to be me
Used to be me
And when you turn, you turn out the light
I can see it once again
I can feel the moment when
You gave you love to me
And when you turn, you turn out the light
I remember all the days
And the rain, the rain that keeps on falling
Can't wipe away my tears
Was I sleeping, was I dreaming
And another night, another night has gone
And I wonder, yes I wonder
Just how long I go on
And I tell myselft
I won't go back no more
But deep down
I know I'll be waiting like all
Of those nights before
And when you turn, turn out the lights
I can see it once again
I can feel the momentwhen
You gave your love to me
And when you turn, turn out the lights
I remember all the years
And the rain that keeps on falling
Can't wipe away my tears
And the rain, the rain that keeps on falling
Can't wipe away my tears
When You Turn Out the Lights was written by Mort Shuman & Claude Lemesle & E.A. Russel & Stephen Stapley & Johnny Hallyday.
