Janis Ian Candlelight lyrics

don`t let the sun go down on me
I do not want to be alone tonight
We`ll be right, you`ll see
Night is a shadow on the soul
and if you want to set me wholly free
stay by me tonight

I`ve been afraid of love
knowing I need you to stay
I`ve been ashamed to love
knowing you`re leaving me
day after day
I`m begging you, pleading
I like you best
when night runs a shadow on the soul
No more empty hands to hold

Don`t let the evening sun go down
I haven`t found a way
to trade the night
sheer delight
burning bright
candlelight
Lay me down - astound me
Not a sound- surround me
Skies unbound, I`m unwound Lay me down

I`ve been afraid to love
This is no time to hesitate
I`ve been ashamed to love
but lay me down, I just can`t wait
I like you best
when night is a pleasure you can give
Lay me down - now I know how to
Lay me down - now I know how to
lay me down
Now I know how to live
