Keep a Light In the Window (Single Version) Lyrics


Now it was just the other day
These are the words I heard a soldier sing
He said, "Tell my babe
To keep a light in the window
Till I come home, till I come home"Well, I don't know
How long or how soon
Maybe tomorrow, it may be never
Or maybe this afternoonSomebody tell my baby
To please keep a light, keep a light
Keep a light in the window
Till I come home, home, homeNow darlin' you know
How much I need you
You see I been gone
So long, so longBut there's nothing
Will ever change the way I feel
I'm just asking you to hold on, baby
Please hold on, listenI'm risking my life every day
To end this fight

But deep down inside my soul right now
I believe I know, I said, I know this cause is rightI just want you, baby
Please keep a light
Keep a light burning
In the window
Till I, till I, till I, till I, till I come on home again

Solomon Burke (born March 21, 1940 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, died October 10, 2010 at Schiphol Airport, The Netherlands) was a soul music pioneer and member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Despite releasing numerous rnb chart hits in the 1960s, he never had a Top 20 hit on the pop charts. Burke's influence, however, has outstripped his mainstream commercial success. He is considered a legend of American music.
