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 before 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 your 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 Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, oh But losing everything is like the sun going down on me Ladies and gentlemen Mr. Elton John 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, oh) But these cuts I have (cuts I have) They need love (they need love, they need love) To help them heal Oh, 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, oh '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 that I see, yeah I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free baby, oh 'Cause losing everything is like the sun going down on me Mr. Elton john
