He sits alone in a crowded station And lights his cigarette The light flickers slightly And tells him politely His life's not at its best
She weighs him up 'cos his love's taken lightly And love's her only regret But love's not a sin in her eyes And she's asking him why - 'Why are you leaving' 'I just can't say' 'Why are you leaving' 'He don't know daddy's gonna stay' Put a little light in her darkest day So she can see it Put a little love in her heart on the way So she can feel it
He walks home with his pride in his pocket And pulls it out with his change And his love is something and it just turned to nothing Now isn't that strange
She holds her head high close to a bright sky He's got his head in a cloud But love's not a sin in her eyes He's telling her why - 'why are you leaving' 'I just can't say' 'Why are you leaving' 'He don't know daddy's gonna stay'
Put a little light in her darkest day So she can see it Put a little love in her heart on the way So she can feel it
