I told you I'd leave a light on,
In case you ever wanted to come back home,
You smiled and said you appreciate the gesture,
I took your every word to heart,
'Cause I can't stand us bein' apart,
And just to show how much I really miss ya,

(chorus)
Every light in the house is on,
The back yard's bright as the crack of dawn,
The front walk looks like runway lights,
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night,
Every light in the house is on,
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone,
Every light in the house is on,

If I should ever start forgetin',
I'll turn the lights off one by one,
So you can see that I agree It's over,
But until then I want you to know,
If you look south you'll see a glow,
Thats me waitin' at home each night to hold ya,

(chorus)
Every light in the house is on,
The back yard's bright as the crack of dawn,
The front walk looks like runway lights,
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night,
Every light in the house is on,
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone,
ooooh Every light in the house is on,
The back yard's bright as the crack of dawn,
The front walk looks like runway lights,
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night,
Every light in the house is on,
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone,
Every light in the house is on
