When the lights go out do you know
is she smiling is she crying
When the lights go out do you know
is she smiling is she crying
But you can't know because you can't see her face
and you can't say...

YOUR FACE ties my shoes and knits my mittens
your face, your face, your face
Ties my shoes, Ties my shoes
and knits my mittens

As your name fades from my hands
And your face from my eyes
As your name fades from my hands
And your face from my eyes
Make up the features of your face
and the sound of your voice
so I could say

YOUR FACE ties my shoes and knits my mittens
your face, your face, your face
Ties my shoes, Ties my shoes
and knits my mittens

As the letters wash away
As the final letters fade
As the letters wash away
As the final letters fade
I think if I say your name out loud
It'll bring back your face
so I can say...

your face, your face, your face
your face your face, YOUR FACE
Ties my shoes, Ties my shoes
and knits my mittens
