I can't light
No more of your darkness
All my pictures
Seem to fade to black and white

I'm growing tired
And time stands still be-fore me
Frozen here
On the ladder of my life

It's much too late
To save myself from falling
I took a chance
And changed the way of life

But you misread
My meaning when I met you
Closed the door
And left me blinded by the light

Don't let the Sun go down on me, yeah
Although I search myself
It's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life, to wander free, ooh-ooh

But losing everything
Is like the Sun going down on me

I can't find
Oh, the right romantic line

But see me once
And see the way I feel

Don't discard me (baby, don't)
Just because you think I mean you harm
(Just because you think I mean you harm, no)
But these cuts I have (cuts I have)
They need love (they need love, they need love) to help them heal

Ooh, don't let the Sun go down on me
Although I search myself
It's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life
To wander free, ooh
'Cause losing everything
Is like the Sun going down on me

Don't let the Sun go down on me
Although I search myself
It's always someone else I see, yeah
I'd just allow a fragment of your life
To wander free, baby, ooh
'Cause losing everything
Is like the Sun going down on me
