From the recording Wistfully Yours: Solo Edition
Lyrics
Don’t You Let the Darkness Drag You Down
Don’t you let the darkness drag you down
Dawn’s early light always comes around
Just take it slow
There’s still a long ways to go
Don’t you burn your candle at both ends
I don’t want for us to be just friends
I’d be so happy
To be so sad with you
Maybe it's all those years
That keep piling up on me
I seem to shed a lot more tears
When the leaves in Autumn disappear
Every life is filled with some regrets
Lots of coffee, lots of cigarettes
I’m not a schemer
But oh I’m such a dreamer
Trying to find my way back to your heart
Baby how about a brand new start
Give me all your frowns
And I’ll turn them upside down
Maybe it’s all those years
They keep piling up on me
I seem to shed a lot more tears
When the leaves in Autumn disappear
Don’t you let the darkness drag you down
Dawn’s early light always comes around
Just take it slow
There’s still a long ways to go
Don’t you burn your candle at both ends
I don’t want for us to be just friends
I’d be so happy
To be so sad with you
Maybe it’s all those years
They keep piling up on me
No I don’t want to be free
I want you to love me
