Ain’t it time we said goodbye to all of our sorrow
Ain’t it time we put away all of our pain
Ain’t it time we took a chance and made a new tomorrow
Ain’t it time we stopped playing all of these games

One of these nights, one of these crazy old nights
We’re gonna find out, pretty mama
What turns on your lights

Ain’t it time we said goodbye to all of our sorrow
Ain’t it time we stopped running from ourselves
Ain’t it time we took a chance and let somebody borrow
Ain’t it time we thought about somebody else

One of these nights, one of these crazy old nights
We’re gonna find out, pretty mama
What turns on your lights

One of these nights, one of these dreams, one of these lost and lonely dreams
One of these nights, one of these dreams, one of these wild and windy dreams
Verse 3:
Ain’t it time we said goodbye to the darkness of night
Ain’t it time we said goodbye to all of our fears
Ain’t it time we said goodbye to the emptiness inside
Ain’t it time we stopped living in the past

One of these nights, one of these crazy old nights
We’re gonna find out, pretty mama
What turns on your lights
