Well, it’s hard to be apart, so many miles in between
Laying here in the dark, are you thinking of me?
Out there in the West
Darlin’, I swear I love you best
And I’m gonna send the sun your way
Wake you up with a dawn full of golden rays
I want you around
Don’t let the darkness get you down
Well, the night’s gone and oh, it’s hard to know what to say
You call me on the telephone, say you miss me most today
We’ll I’ll see you soon
Darlin’, we’re staring at the same moon
And I’m gonna send the sun your way
Wake you up with a dawn full of golden rays
I want you around
Don’t let the darkness get you down
Darlin’, believe me, I’ll never deceive ya
We got this love, let’s keep it right
Never be lonely, cause I love you only
And if we can make it just through the night
Then I’m gonna send the sun your way
Wake you up with a dawn full of golden rays
I want you around
Don’t let the darkness get you down
I want you around
So don’t let the darkness get you down
