this onion won't make me cry; so long to all my friends; Every one of them met tragic ends With every passing day I'd be lying if I didn't say That I miss them all tonight And if they only knew what I would say If I could be with you tonight I would sing you to sleep Never let them take the light behind your eyes One day, I'll lose this fight As we fade in the dark Just remember you will always burn as bright Be strong and hold my hand Time, it comes for us, you'll understand We'll say goodbye today And I'm sorry how it ends this way If you promise not to cry Then I'll tell you just what I would say If I could be with you tonight I would sing you to sleep Never let them take the light behind your eyes I'll fail and lose this fight Never fade in the dark Just remember you will always burn as bright The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes Sometimes, we must grow stronger And you can't be stronger when I'm gone When I'm here, no longer You must be stronger and If I could be with you tonight I would sing you to sleep Never let them take the light behind your eyes I failed and lost this fight Never fade in the dark Just remember you will always burn as bright The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes
