Can't Turn the Night Off Lyrics

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
