Forty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences Forty nights to sit an listen, to the midnight train to Memphis Midnight train to Memphis Well, judge looked down gave me forty days Instead of the fine that I could not pay Said walk right you'll soon be

You give me hope to carry on You light up my days And fill my nights with song You light up my life So many nights I sit by my window Waiting for someone to sing me his song So many dream I kept deep inside me Alone in the dark but now you've come along

I'll pray for you Do you pray for me? How many nights do you lie dreaming I'm counting the days since you went away When I lost my heart, life lost all meaning What I would give to see you again And you slipped away from me without talking The look in

I wish somebody would have told me babe All the love you won't forget And all these reckless nights you won't regret Those good old days Some day, these will be the good old days Someday soon, your whole life's gonna change You'll miss the magic of these

He's saying "no, no, you're not ready yet" St. Peter shaking his head I'm far away For nights and days Silent they I'm running It's like your voice I hear Into my face Keeps drying my tears

You give me hope to carry on You light up my days And fill my nights with song You light up my life So many nights I sit by my window Waiting for someone to sing me his song So many dream I kept deep inside me Alone in the dark but now you've come along

Forever we will be Forever faithfully Forever starts today Forever's every day Still endless days and nights I wait for you 'Cause deep inside this flame I know it's true And through it all

You bring me sun, sun, sun, sunshine Come over, come over Come over, c-come over Sun, sun, sun, sunshine Girl come over Me want you closer I'm tired of the rainy days So before the night's over I want you to know that

You give me hope to carry on You light up my days And fill my nights with song You light up my life So many nights I sit by my window Waiting for someone to sing me his song So many dream I kept deep inside me Alone in the dark but now you've come along

No one, no one, no one Oh oh oh oh Can get in the way of what I'm feeling Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you You and me together Through the days and nights I don't worry 'cause Everything's going to be alright People keep talking they
