[Verse 1]

I can't light no more of your darkness

All my pictures seem to fade to black and white

I'm growin' tired, and time stands still before me

Frozen here on the ladder of my life

[Verse 2]

Too late to save myself from falling

I took a chance and changed your way of life

But you misread my meanin' when I met you

Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

[Chorus]

Don't let the sun go down on me (Don't let the sun)

Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see

I'd just allow a fragment of your life (Don't let the sun) to wander free

But losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me

[Verse 3]

I can't find, oh, the right romantic line

But see me once and see the way I feel

Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm

But these cuts I have, oh, they need love to help them heal

[Chorus]

Don't let the sun go down on me (Don't let the sun)

Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see

I'd just allow a fragment of your life (Don't let the sun) to wander free

But losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Don't let the sun go down on me (Don't let the sun)

Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see

I'd just allow a fragment of your life (Don't let the sun) to wander free, yeah

But losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me
