Why must I wait for the morning sun to rise

that maybe then I can rest my eyes

so I won't think of you and our used-to-be's

cause I can't turn the night

no I can't turn the night

oh, I can't turn the night off

I watch the ceiling dance thru my midnight eyes

a screen on which I fantasize

all of our yesterdays and our used-to-be's

oh, I can't turn the night

no I can't turn the night

oh, I can't turn the night off

If only you and I were together now

we'd make it somehow

we were so young before; we didn't realize

you can't take back the goodbyes

And so I wait for the morning sun to rise

that maybe then I can close my eyes

so I won't look at you and our used-to-be's

and I can't turn the night

no, I can't turn the night

oh, I can't turn the night off
