"When The Lights Go Down" by Faith Hill (Craig Wiseman/Jeffrey Steele/Rivers Rutherford)

1st Verse

When the lights go down
He'll be fillin' a pan with a broom in his hand
In some dive across town
He'll be wipin' the bar and moppin' the floor
Countin' his tips and lockin' the doors
Wrestlin' with the devil that tells him to pour another round
When the lights go down

2nd Verse

She'll be callin' her friends from her Mercedes Benz
But it's too late now
They were there for the fame, the flash, and the thrill
For the drop of the name, the parties, and pills
As another star falls from the Hollywood hills without a sound

1st Chorus

When the lights go down, (oh) and there's nothin' left to be
When the lights go down, (yeah) and the truth is all you see
When you feel that hole inside your soul
And wonder what you're made of
Well, we all find out
When the lights go down

3rd Verse

When the lights go down
At the end of the day, when this game that I play
Has gone another round
As I lay there alone on this big empty bed
With nothin' but thoughts of you in my head
I think of the things that I wish I had said
When you were still around

2nd Chorus

When the lights go down, yeah there's nothin' left to be
When the lights go down, and the truth is all you see
And I wonder if all my life's about
The sum of all my fears and all my doubts
Yeah, when the lights go down, oh oh

(Repeat 1st Chorus)

Oh, when the lights go down, oh oh
