I Leave the Lights On For You

You might think I'm wasting my time, hoping she'll come home
I swear it sounds like her sometimes, on the radio
On a five mile final
It's not her plane
Still I search the sky, and wish that I knew, where she was today

She came from out of the blue
Had a sweet southern smile
I knew she couldn't stay forever, but she drove me wild
Now every night before I go, and lock the tower door behind
To let you know, I miss you so
Should you change your mind

I leave the lights on for you
Hoping you will see
I leave the lights on for you
To guide you back to me
A beacon in the night, runway lights
And I see to guide you in
It's just a crazy thing I still do
I leave the lights on for you

The time we spent together
Thought true love I'd found
Her spirit sort in the sky
It couldn't be tied down
She flew away one morning
Left a note for me to find
Said it was hard to go, that she loved me so
Almost stayed this time

So I leave the lights on for you
Hoping you will see
I leave the lights on for you
To guide you back to me
A beacon in the night, in runway lights
And I see to guide you in
It's just a crazy thing I still do
I leave the lights on for you

Each night I still dream
You're flying back to me
And then I'll wake, and listen in the dark
A little closer now
I hear a distant sound
And I wonder could it be
Did you finally see
It's you I need

So I leave the lights on for you
Hoping you will see
I leave the lights on for you
To guide you back to me
A beacon in the night, in runway lights
And I see to guide you in
It's just a crazy thing I still do
I leave the lights on for you
