| I fell in love with a young soul
|
| The innocence, it drove me wild
|
| She’s got the body of a grown girl
|
| But the wondrous eyes of a child
|
| The shine is fading away
|
| But you really don’t, really don’t, really don’t mind
|
| Gone by the end of the day
|
| Singin' if it’s not now
|
| How can it last forever?
|
| Could’ve been a love song
|
| Could’ve been a big one
|
| Could’ve been you and I up all night keepin' the light goin'
|
| Couldn’t keep the light goin'
|
| Let’s keep the light burnin'
|
| We walk on down that long and winding road
|
| Each step you take drivin' me wild
|
| We dress my truth up in your trendy clothes
|
| But now all they see is how it’s styled
|
| The shine is fading way
|
| But you really don’t, really don’t, really don’t mind
|
| Gone by the end of the day
|
| Singin' if it’s not now
|
| How can it last forever?
|
| Could’ve been a love song
|
| Could’ve been a big one
|
| Could’ve been you and I up all night keepin' the light goin'
|
| They couldn’t keep the light goin'
|
| Let’s keep the light burnin' on
|
| Let’s keep the light goin' on
|
| Let’s keep the light burning on
|
| Let’s keep the light burning on
|
| Yeah
|
| I sing you a love song
|
| A big one
|
| That coulda-woo-coulda-woo but I
|
| Couldn’t keep the light going
|
| Could’ve been a love song
|
| Could’ve been a big one
|
| Coulda, woulda, shoulda but I
|
| Let’s keep the light burning on
|
| The shine is fading away
|
| But you really don’t, really don’t, really don’t mind
|
| And I can still hear you say
|
| If only centuries were miles away
|
| If only centuries were miles away
|
| Could’ve been a love song
|
| Could’ve been a big one
|
| Could’ve been you and I up all night keepin' the light goin'
|
| They couldn’t keep the light goin'
|
| Let’s keep the light burnin' on |
