I saw a light
That shined so bright
But it was not for me
I would be shamed
To try to claim
That illustrious beauty
I'm sad to say
I turned away
And strained my eyes to see
A light as fair
That could compare
And would be all for me
I looked so far
By foot and car
But everywhere I went
Though they weren't few
It's sad but true
The lights were dull or spent
I took them away
By light of day
Though they were far from grand
But come the night
My many lights
Did not work as I planned
Oh, they did shine
And were all mine
But still they brought no joy
Did what I could
And thought I should
But they were naught but toys
And so my thoughts
Turn to what brought
Me to this desperate plan
A lonesome tale
And doomed to fail
As do all the works of man
Light so far gone
It's been so long
Yet still I turn to you
I shouldn't care
But life's not fair
So what now can I do?
There is no light but you
