When You Turn Out The Lights (Quand Un Homme Devient Fou)

(Claude Jacques Raoul Lemesle/Mortimer Shuman)



It's midnight, it's raining

I just stroll out on the street

I've been waiting in the shadows

Getting soaked down to my feet



I just wait here every night

Till you com home

And I know that every night

You won't be alone



Here comes a taxi round the corner

You'll pay the fare

And you'll hold the door

Up the taircase trying to find your keys

My poor heart can take no more



And I keep thinging

By the way it used to be

When the one who held you so tight

Used to be me

Used to be me



And when you turn, you turn out the light

I can see it once again

I can feel the moment when

You gave you love to me



And when you turn, you turn out the light

I remember all the days

And the rain, the rain that keeps on falling

Can't wipe away my tears



Was I sleeping, was I dreaming

And another night, another night has gone

And I wonder, yes I wonder

Just how long I go on



And I tell myself

I won't go back no more

But deep down

I know I'll be waiting like all

Of those nights before



And when you turn, turn out the lights

I can see it once again

I can feel the moment when

You gave your love to me



And when you turn, turn out the lights

I remember all the years

And the rain that keeps on falling

Can't wipe away my tears



And the rain, the rain that keeps on falling

Can't wipe away my tears.
