I Reach for the Light Lyrics by Raspberries

Fresh

1972

I can't begin to count the times
I have been by myself
I lie awake my lonely room
Tells me there's no one else, no one else
I reach for the light it shines above my head
Reveals the bed that you're not in
I reach for the light it shines across the room
And brings to mind what might have been
I tell myself I'm better off
No one can have me now
I see your crumpled photograph
It makes me laugh out loud, laugh out loud
I reach for the light it shines above my head
Reveals the bed that you're not in
I reach for the light it shines across the room
And brings to mind what might have been
And I wish I could forget
How good you look, tonight
When you smiled at me
And walked away with him, oh, oh no
I reach for the light it shines above my head
Reveals the bed that you're not in
I reach for the light it shines across the room
And brings to mind what might have been
I reach for the light, now
(I reach for the light)
I tell myself I'm better off
No one can hurt me now
(I reach for the light)
I see your crumpled photograph
It makes me laugh out loud
(I reach for the light)
I lay wake my lonely room
Tells me there's no one there
(I reach for the light)
I just can't stay [Incomprehensible]
(I reach for the light)
