"Leave The Light On" lyrics
Ryan Vasquez & Original Broadway Cast of The Notebook Lyrics
(from "The Notebook (Original Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)
[MIDDLE NOAH:]
I'll leave the light on, turn down the bed
Heat up the kettle, butter some bread
Stay up 'til midnight haunting these halls
Let's hang our memories all over these walls
Where have you gone?
Just out for a walk?
And when you get back, we'll have us a talk
About life, about war, about dinner, and more
'Bout the sun and the moon
And where have you gone?
Another sunset, it happens to fall
Right into a new day, crushing us all
And night after new night, like the nights come and gone
Living is waiting, living and wanting, living alone...
And where have you gone?
Just out for a walk?
And when you get back, we'll have us a talk
About life, about war, about dinner, and more
'Bout the sun and the moon
And we'll go up to bed, watch the world from our heads
Are you coming back?
Are you coming back soon?
[MIDDLE NOAH (ENSEMBLE):]
We build these walls (we build these walls)
To live inside (to live inside)
And make a home (and make a home)
And shut our eyes and dream (and shut our eyes and dream)
And when I see you, you're everywhere:
Planting a garden, biting your lip
Watching the snowstorm keeping me warm
I almost feel you — you're kissing my neck
Blinking and breathing, laughing and leaving
And the hole in my chest isn't there anymore...
Where have you gone?
Oh, where have you gone?
I build these walls to bring you home
But all they bring me is more alone
Maybe I'll move on, maybe I won't
But I'll leave the light on anyway
I'll leave the light on...
I'll leave the light on, turn down the bed
Heat up the kettle, butter some bread
Stay up 'til midnight haunting these halls
Let's hang our memories all over these walls
Where have you gone?
Just out for a walk?
And when you get back, we'll have us a talk
About life, about war, about dinner, and more
'Bout the sun and the moon
And where have you gone?
Another sunset, it happens to fall
Right into a new day, crushing us all
And night after new night, like the nights come and gone
Living is waiting, living and wanting, living alone...
And where have you gone?
Just out for a walk?
And when you get back, we'll have us a talk
About life, about war, about dinner, and more
'Bout the sun and the moon
And we'll go up to bed, watch the world from our heads
Are you coming back?
Are you coming back soon?
[MIDDLE NOAH (ENSEMBLE):]
We build these walls (we build these walls)
To live inside (to live inside)
And make a home (and make a home)
And shut our eyes and dream (and shut our eyes and dream)
And when I see you, you're everywhere:
Planting a garden, biting your lip
Watching the snowstorm keeping me warm
I almost feel you — you're kissing my neck
Blinking and breathing, laughing and leaving
And the hole in my chest isn't there anymore...
Where have you gone?
Oh, where have you gone?
I build these walls to bring you home
But all they bring me is more alone
Maybe I'll move on, maybe I won't
But I'll leave the light on anyway
I'll leave the light on...
