Lyrics The Raspberries

The Raspberries

I Reach for the Light

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)
