lyrics

Turn The Lights Down Low
© 2018 Nancy K. Dillon (BMI)

Turn the lights down low
And see the candle’s pale yellow glow
I’m sittin' next to the picture I adore
The one of you and that train upon the shore
That is why….why I cry alone

Once a long time ago
I threw a penny in a fountain of gold
And made a wish for an angel from above
To take me up and bring me real love
That is why…why I cry alone

BRIDGE

Cause the angel never came
He caught his wing upon the gate
And so much time it took to free himself
By then it was too late
And the years rolled by and time moved on
He played his harp…he sang his song
He thought one day he’d try again
To slip the gate and answer one true prayer

So, baby, turn the lights down low
And feel the candle’s warm yellow glow
I’m sittin’ next to the angel I adore
I feel his kiss…I’ll never wish for more
That is why…I don’t cry alone….any more…
That is why I don’t cry alone

Inspired by Oklahoma & Texas troubadours Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, and Kevin Welch, Dillon's songs are short stories about characters that populate true American life. ... more
