I Leave A Light On.

Lyrics and Vocals: American country music singer-songwriter Alan Eugene Jackson.

I Leave A Light On.

I do alright, most of the time.
I’ve learned to move on, I’ve learned to get by,
But sometimes I can’t find the reason to be free,
So I leave a light on for your memory.

I leave a light on for your memory,
So it will be easy to come back to me.
When it’s late and I’m alone, I need some place to be,
I leave a light on for your memory.

You found a new love and I’d like to believe,
That you’re really better off without me.
The good days have slipped away, but I sometimes dream,
So I leave a light on for your memory.

I leave a light on for your memory,
So it will be easy to come back to me.
When it’s late and I’m alone, I need some place to be,
I leave a light on for your memory.
Yeah, when it’s late and I’m alone, I need some place to be.
I leave a light on for your memory.

END
