When the Lights Go Down Lyrics
We look around in this place we live
We both know we've got no way out
Every time I see your face I know I've let you down
I used to work every hour god sends
Ah baby those were the days to remember
Now I just sit with the TV blasting our glory songs
I tried so hard to make you happy
But it all just seemed to fade away
I got nothing left to give you anymore
And when the lights go down
We'll take the radio out on the back porch
We'll dance real slow
'Til all this world just disappears
Remеmber back when we wеre young and free
Back when we cradled our hopes and our dreams
Every day we lived was for each other babe
I see your face in the morning sun now
And wonder what this day will bring
One day I'll make it all just like it used to be
Because I still believe we can make it somehow
I still believe in the love we have
We're gonna have it all just like it used to be
And when the lights go down
We'll take the radio out on the back porch
We'll dance real slow
'Til all this world just disappears
And when the lights go down
We'll take the radio out on the back porch
We'll dance real slow
'Til all this world just disappears
And when the lights go down
We'll take the radio out on the back porch
We'll dance real slow
'Til all this world just disappears
We both know we've got no way out
Every time I see your face I know I've let you down
Ah baby those were the days to remember
Now I just sit with the TV blasting our glory songs
But it all just seemed to fade away
I got nothing left to give you anymore
We'll take the radio out on the back porch
We'll dance real slow
'Til all this world just disappears
Back when we cradled our hopes and our dreams
Every day we lived was for each other babe
And wonder what this day will bring
One day I'll make it all just like it used to be
I still believe in the love we have
We're gonna have it all just like it used to be
We'll take the radio out on the back porch
We'll dance real slow
'Til all this world just disappears
We'll take the radio out on the back porch
We'll dance real slow
'Til all this world just disappears
We'll take the radio out on the back porch
We'll dance real slow
'Til all this world just disappears
