Description
Originally this song was about leaving the light on in your heart for somebody even though you may need to go your separate ways for a while. Now I like to think of it as everywhere you go...every person you meet...you decide how you want to leave that other person feeling. So I look at the phrase Leave a Little Light On as leaving people smiling after you've left. Leaving a little bit of your light behind for them to pass on to the next person they interact with.
Lyrics
Wouldn't wanna give you too much, if I give you too much you might take it away...but leave a little light on, leave a little light on at the end of the day... Wouldn't wanna get too far gone cause if I could do wrong I'd lose more than I'd gain...but I'm feeling the affection headed in my direction and I'd love you to stay.... We can't hardly wait, it's just a matter of time.... Every breath you take take is just fine and I find myself entwined in the loving of you... Wouldn't wanna be put out there then one day you get scared and it's more than I can take...but leave a little light on, leave a little light on when you go on your way... Wouldn't wanna get to far gone cause if you could do wrong I'd lose more than I'd gain...But leave a little light on, leave a little light on when you go on your way As you go on your way... Yeah as you go on your way...
