lyrics

Leave all the lights on
I’ll be up late tonight
Draw all the curtains
Draw them close and tight
Tight around the family
Try to keep them safe
A warm and cozy blanket
As I lie wide awake
Another glass of whiskey
The kids are safe in bed
To slow all the frightened feelings
Swimming in my head
Another glass of whiskey
So I can try to sleep
Another glass of whiskey
For my soul to keep

But I’ll remember to count my blessings
Each and every night
Even though I pray to nothing
I’m thankful for the light
as I spread my possessions
Like sunlight on the grass
I remind myself that
This too shall pass

Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes we never know
What silly insecurity
Is hidden by the snow
And as time passes it grows more certain
That we’ll all be ok
We just have to keep on rising
Greeting the brand new day

Chorus

So leave all the lights on
I’ll be up late tonight
But I’ll be up tomorrow ready
