Man, it wasn't a dream that whispered so sweetly,
Told me love would prevail, given time,
Said I'd never believe, but you knew how I needed to,
Then you gave to me so freely what I tried so hard to find,
Now this body of mine will lie down, I promise,
In your sheltering arms I will sleep one day soon.

Leave one light on,
Very soon I'm coming back to you,
Leave one light on, darling,
Very soon I'm coming home to you.

Twists and turns on the highway never, never did throw you off,
So many times I though you'd go on without me,
But instead you'd just smile, girl, and help me up,
I'm still walking behind, don't believe I'm alone,
I'll take a rain check on an angel 'cause I've got you to lead me home.

Leave one light on, darling,
Very soon I'm coming back to you,
Leave one light on,
Very soon I'm coming home to you,
Leave one candle burning,
'Cause you know I'm coming home for you,
Leave one light on, children,
Very soon I'm coming back to you.

Talk about love, for me, it's a vision of an opening door where no shadow obscures,
Hope gives birth to my life and my soul,
But, as far as we've come side by side, it seems like we've barely begun, yeah,
And what is a vision unless it's an image of things to come' ' Oh.

Leave one light on,
Very soon I'm coming back to you,
Leave one candle burning,
Very soon I'm coming back for you,
Leave one light on,
Very soon I'm coming home for you,
Leave one candle burning,
Very soon I'm coming home for you.

Leave one light on,
Leave one light on,
Leave one light on,
