Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me Lyrics

I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

It's too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your little life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself it's someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can't find all the right romantic lines
But see me once and see the way I feel
And don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal

(repeat chorus twice)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
