I sat by your bedside, mumbled into sorrow Holding onto your hand, my back against tomorrow's beauty And it's a privilege imparting, I know The years turned to days, and days turned to hours Penitent in black, raising flesh amongst the flowers I regret a lot, said a lot of things I never thought I would say And I think about her, and I think about her every day Well, the night was ours, we were swinging in the stars When the lights went out She was burning bright when we said goodnight Then the lights went out Oh honey, when the lights go out Will I see you again? Plugging out your heart strings, rattling their cages Butterfingered lovers, ripping out their pages These are the rules of the game, they're never willing to play Oh, I think about her, and I think about her every day Well, the night was ours, we were swinging in the stars When the lights went out She was burning bright as we said goodnight Then the lights went out Oh honey, when the lights go out Will I see you again? We traced her steps across lonely almond kitten hills Pressed our faces in the crush of velveteen and satin trim She kept her faith and windowsills in plastic figurines Dedicated to a life spent letting go, gone, gone Well, the night was ours, we were swinging in the stars When the lights went out She was burning bright when we said goodnight Then the lights went out Oh honey, when the lights go out Will I see you again? Yeah, the night was ours, we were swinging in the stars When the lights went out She was burning bright into the middle of the night When the lights went out Oh honey, when the lights go out Will I see you again? Will I see you again? Will I see you again?
