  • Why should I worry when I know you're loving me
    Why should I care when there's joy everywhere
    Why can't I see the beauty of the life

    Somebody I trusted, trusted
    Somebody I knew quite well
    Somebody I loved

    But please don't put out the light
    Put out the light, turn the day into night
    Put out the light, put out light
    Turn the day into night, turn the day into night
    Hey, hey, hey, yeah

    I got this good old melody
    I think it's makin' me blue only
    Then I hear the symphony
    That's what I get and
    That's what's been taken out, the best of me

    Hey, hey, hey, yeah
    Hey, hey, hey, yeah

    Why should I hurry? I do the best I can
    Do what I do and I hope you understand
    Why can't I see the beauty of the life?

    Somebody I trusted
    Somebody I knew quite well
    Somebody I loved

    But please don't put out the light
    Put out the light, turn the day into night
    Turn the day into night, put out light
    Put out the light, turn the day into night
    Hey, hey, hey, yeah

    Please don't, somebody I trusted
    Somebody I knew quite well
    Somebody I loved

    But please don't
    ? please don't put out the light
    Put out the light
    Hey, hey, hey, yeah

    Put out the light, don't put out the light, yeah
    Put out the light, don't put out the light, yeah
    Put out the light, don't put out the light, yeah Writer/s: DANIEL JOSEPH MOORE
