Carolina moon Lazy ol' river Time keeps floatin' on by Moss hanging from an oak tree Baby, it's just you and me Sure makes one beautiful sight We got postcard views Curled up in this rocking chair I feel like I ought to tip my hat To the man upstairs for Leavin' the light on, leavin' the light on Burnin' the whole night through Leavin' the light on, leavin' the light on So I can look at you Your pretty brown eyes Your legs that go forever Still can't believe you're mine Come on baby, let's take a walk Follow the path down to that old dock And bring along that bottle of wine That old moon's so bright Just hangin' up there Feel like I ought count' my blessings And thank the man upstairs for I'm leavin' the light on, I'm leavin' the light on I'm burn in the whole night through I'm leavin' the light on, I'm leavin' the light on So I can look at you It's gettin' kinda late, girl Let's go back to the house I wanna watch you from my pillow 'Til the mornin' rolls around So I'm leavin' the light on, leavin' the light on Burnin' the whole night through, I I'm leavin' the light on, I'm leavin' the light on So I can, so I can see you, oh, I wanna look at you, oh So I'm leavin' the light on, leavin' the light on Oh, it's burnin', oh, it's burnin' through Oh, it's burnin' through, yeah I'm leavin' the light on, I'm leavin' the light on So I can look at you
