Verse 1
Every night at half past nine
I’d walk that same old street
A little light behind the blind
Made every night complete
I never knew her name back then
She never noticed me
But somehow when that light came on
That’s where I had to be
Chorus
Oh, the light in her window
Was shining every night
The light in her window
Made everything seem right
But tonight I walked the old way home
And something wasn’t right
I looked up at her window…
There wasn’t any light
Verse 2
Next morning on my way to work
A van stood by the door
Boxes waited on the step
I’d never seen before
I watched them take the curtains down
And carry them away
And wondered why somebody
I’d never met could make me feel this way
Chorus
Oh, the light in her window
Was shining every night
The light in her window
Made everything seem right
But tonight I walked the old way home
And something wasn’t right
I looked up at her window…
There wasn’t any light
Verse 3
A week went by, then maybe two
I still walked home that way
Someone else had moved inside
The curtains changed one day
And every night their light came on
Behind that window pane
Funny how the very same light
Could never look the same
Bridge
I should have stopped
I should have tried
I should have knocked
Just once, that night
But sometimes you don’t know you’ve lost
What never quite was yours
Final Chorus
Oh, the light in her window
Was shining every night
The light in her window
Made everything seem right
Now someone else’s light comes on
As I walk home each night
But I’ll always see her window…
And remember that little light
Outro
The light in her window…
The light in her window…
That used to shine for me.
