I Reach For The Light

(eric carmen)



I can't begin to count the times

I have been by myself

I lie wake my lonely room

Tells me there's no one else

No one else



I reach for the light

It shines above my head

Reveals the bed that you're not in

I reach for the light

It shines across the room

And brings to mind what might have been



I tell myself i'm better off

No one can have me now

I see your crumpled photograph

It makes me laugh aloud

Laugh aloud



I reach for the light

It shines above my head

Reveals the bed that you're not in

I reach for the light

It shines across the room

And brings to mind what might have been



And i wish i could forget

How good you look, tonight

When you smiled at me

And walked away with him

Oh, oh no!



I reach for the light

It shines above my head

Reveals the bed that you're not in

I reach for the light

It shines across the room

And brings to mind what might have been



I reach for the light, now

(i reach for the light)

I tell myself i'm better off

No one can hurt me now

(i reach for the light)

I see your crumpled photograph

It makes me laugh aloud

(i reach for the light)

I lay wake my lonely room

Tells me there's no one there

(i reach for the light)
