Wake, wake, wakin' me up Weight, weight, puttin' me down Uh, let's start off with something light You bringin' the candle light That I put inside sometime Tell me what you say 'cause you know I got it baby I wanna call you, I wanna leave it up You feel

I know you miss me Oh, when you kiss me And when you're with me The world just goes away The way you hold me I can see you with me when I'm older All my lonely nights are finally over You took the weight of the world off my shoulders
