I woke up this mornin' With some real bad news Oh, shed a little light on me Timing's awful And so is the truth I guess I'm outta time to dream Oh, there ain't no changin' Ain't goin' back in time Can't you hold the light for me? Hold a little light on... Oh, that's how it is Hold a little light on me We only live, we only live to die Hold a little light on... Oh, and the timing's never right Hold a little light on me Each day is precious And now I know Shed a little light on me Oh, I need forgiveness So I can go, yeah Can you hold a light for me? Shed a little light on... Hold a little light on... Oh, that's how it is Hold a little light on me We only live, we only live to die Hold a little light on... Oh, and the timing's never right Hold a little light on me As I walk through the valley of shadow and death I will fear no evil for you or in me Your love, your strength comforts me Hold a little light on... That's how it is Hold a little light on me We only live, we only live to die Hold a little light on... Oh, and the timing's never right Hold a little light on me
