Story Behind The Song
My exgirlfriend of 2 years wanted to break up w/ me. I begged her not to say goodbye. She agreed to see me for dinner. I spent the whole time asking her "can we just have one more nite together..then you can decide on breaking up". I thought she would wake up in my arms in the morning and she would think "i love him, i cant break up". Well it didn't even get that far...she left me after dinner...I wrote this beautiful song for her.....she cried....and DIDNT take me back. Ouch.

Lyrics
WHEN THERE?S LIGHT
Verse 1
Don?t blow the candles out too soon
Let?s just sit here, take it all in
Keep everything on the table
Please don?t let it end
Chorus 1
I know I hurt you, that wasn?t right
Things might look different When Theres Light
Verse 2
Take time to think before crossing that street
Believe me I?ve done it too
Lights will change but won?t rearrange
Is it with you
Chorus 2
It?s black and white a night
Things come to color WHEN THERE?S LIGHT
Bridge
Don?t say goodbye
No Not Tonite
Sleep on it
Decide When There Is Light
