Keeping A Light

(album: Thankful - 1977)

Hey, did you happen to see my sweet baby?
He was walkin on down the road
Tell him for me that if you see him tonight
Everything is alright
'cause I know how he gets when he's low
Oh, he's a beautiful man
Kinda hard to understand but
He's the only good man that I know
Won't you tell him for me
I'm keepin a light shinin in the window
Just in case he decides to come home
Shining in the window just in case he decides to come home
(he's a beautiful man, kinda hard to understand)
But he's the only good man that I know
Won't you tell him for me? (tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him)
I'm keeping a light (tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him) shining in the window
Just in case he decides to come home (ooh, ah)
Shining in the window
Just in case he decides to come home

Oh, we had quite a spat and that was all that but
We both said things that we didn't mean
Won't you tell him for me (tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him)
I'm keeping a light (tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him) shining in the window
Just in case he decides to come home (ooh, ah)
Shining in the window
In case he decides to come home
I'm keepin (ooh, ah) a light, baby
Just in case he decides to come home
Can't (ooh, ah) you see the light?
Can't (ooh, ah) you see the light?
Keepin (ooh, ah) a light, baby
Just in case he decides to come home
Oh, (tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him) just in case, just in case
I'm keeping a light, baby (tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him)
Just in case, just in case
Oh say can you see (tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him)
My light, shinin,' shining, (just in case) shining
I wonder can you see my light shinin, (tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him, just in case) burnin, shinin, burnin, shinin, burnin
