She moDved so well 'cause she was a daEmncer
She went sliFding through my questions
GlCiding 'round the anGswer
WhatDever it was, she knew it was hoEmly
And each tiFme I tried to hold her
Her smCile came sad and sloGwly
She said, "No one knDows me."
CoGuld you put your light on please
It's kAmind of dark tonight
And I fD7eel a little lonely
Yes, I neCed a little liGght
CoGuld you put your light on please
Let me hAmear a friendly sound
I could maD7ke it through 'til morning
If you could lCet your light shine doGwn
SDhe had a dream, I had my typewrEmiter
While I was haFcking out such a heavy world
She was weaCving one much ligGhter
But I'll nevDer know just how much it cEmost her
And as I slFept beside her
SometChing turned and tosGsed her
And it did till I losDt her
CGould you put your light on please
It's kAmind of dark tonight
And I fD7eel a little lonely
Yes, I neCed a little liGght
CoGuld you put your light on please
Let me hAmear a friendly sound
I could maD7ke it through 'til morning
If you could lCet your light shine doGwn
BCright times were brighter
Than they'd evDmer been before, I tell you
NiCght times were lighter
But they'll nevDmer, neD#ver be no moDre
GCould you put your light on please
It's kAmind of dark tonight
And I fD7eel a little lonely
Yes, I neCed a little liGght
CoGuld you put your light on please
Let me hAmear a friendly sound
I could maD7ke it through 'til morning
If you could lCet your light shine doGwn

Chords in this song · guitar

D Em

She moved so well 'cause she was a dancer

She went sliding through my questions

C G

Gliding 'round the answer

D Em

Whatever it was, she knew it was holy

And each time I tried to hold her

C G

Her smile came sad and slowly

She said, "No one knows me."

Could you put your light on please

It's kind of dark tonight

And I feel a little lonely

C G

Yes, I need a little light

Could you put your light on please

Let me hear a friendly sound

I could make it through 'til morning

C G

If you could let your light shine down

D Em

She had a dream, I had my typewriter

While I was hacking out such a heavy world

C G

She was weaving one much lighter

D Em

But I'll never know just how much it cost her

And as I slept beside her

C G

Something turned and tossed her

And it did till I lost her

Could you put your light on please

It's kind of dark tonight

And I feel a little lonely

C G

Yes, I need a little light

Could you put your light on please

Let me hear a friendly sound

I could make it through 'til morning

C G

If you could let your light shine down

Bright times were brighter

Than they'd ever been before, I tell you

Night times were lighter

Dm D# D

But they'll never, never be no more

Could you put your light on please

It's kind of dark tonight

And I feel a little lonely

C G

Yes, I need a little light

Could you put your light on please

Let me hear a friendly sound

I could make it through 'til morning

C G

If you could let your light shine down
