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
