lyrics

THIS DARK NIGHT
Wish I could say it’ll go away in a short while
Wish I could come and carry you through this trial
Wish I could say that he loved you dear but he don’t
Wish I could say it gets easier but it won’t
Wish I was wrong
Wish you were right
Wishin there wasn’t such a thing as a lonely night
Wish on a star, wherever you are
But don’t give up yet... you’ve come so far
This Dark night’s just making way for the light
Waiting for him for years you’re hope grew dim
Why can’t he get past his fears and live
Oh, you carried burdens for two so that he’d change his mind
While dying inside for the love you know you’ve got the right to find.
Wish I was wrong
Wish you were right
Wishin there wasn’t such a thing as a lonely night
Wish on a star, wherever you are
But don’t give up yet... you’ve come so far
No now don’t give up yet... you’ve come so far
If you gotta cry then that’s okay
This too shall pass away
If you gotta cry then that’s okay
This too shall pass away.
Wish I was wrong
Wish you were right
Wishin there wasn’t such a thing as a lonely night
Wish on a star, wherever you are
But don’t give up yet... you’ve come so far
No now don’t give up yet... you’ve come so far
This Dark Night is just making way....
ooooo, Making way for the Light,  
ooooo, Making way for the Light,  oooooo
Making way for the Light, ooooh For The Light..
