When the lights go down on me

When the truth is hard to see

When hope is fading out of sight

Love is the only light

When my world becomes unreal

And the pain is all I feel

When I can't find the love I knew

It's sad but true

We find ourselves crying

Cos we can't make it last

We hope for the future

Then reach for the past

When you find yourself alone tonight

Please believe me, love is the only light

When I find no reasons why

And it's time to say goodbye

When there's nothing left to say or do

It's sad, sad but true

We find ourselves crying

Cos we can't make it last

We hope for the future

Then reach for the past

When you find yourself alone tonight

Please believe me, love is the only light

Burn my fingers, feel the pain

Kiss the flame and

Start again (start again)

And again (and again)

And again

And again, and again, and again

We find ourselves crying (we find ourselves)

Cos we can't make it last

We hope for the future (we hope for love)

Then reach for the past

When you find yourself alone tonight

Please believe me, love is the only light

Love is the only light

When you find yourself alone tonight

Please believe me

Love is the only light
