When you turn out the lights (Quand un homme devient fou - 1983) Songtext
von Johnny Hallyday

It′s midnight, it's raining
I just stroll out on the street
I′ve been waiting in the shadows
Getting soaked down to my feet

I just wait here every night
Till you come home
And I know that every night
You won't be alone

Here comes a taxi 'round the corner
You′ll pay the fare
And you′ll hold the door
Up the staircase trying to find your keys
My poor heart can take no more

And I keep thinking
By the way it used to be
When the one who held you so tight
Used to be me
Used to be me, oh


And when you turn, you turn out the light
I can see it once again
I can feel the moment when
You gave your love to me

And when you turn, you turn out the light
I remember all the days
And the rain, the rain that keeps on falling
Can't wipe away my tears

Was I sleeping, was I dreaming
And another night, another night has gone
And I wonder, yes I wonder
Just how long can I go on

And I tell myself
I won′t go back no more
But deep down
I know I'll be waiting like all
Of those nights, oh, before

And when you turn, turn out the lights
I can see it once again
I can feel the moment when
You gave your love to me


And when you turn, turn out the lights
I remember all the years
And the rain that keeps on falling
Can′t wipe away my tears

And the rain, the rain that keeps on falling
Can't wipe away my tears
