Carolina moon, lazy ol river

Time keeps floatin' on by

Moss hanging from an oak tree

Baby it's just you and me

Sure makes one beautiful sight

We got postcard views

Curled up in this rocking chair

Feel like I ought tip my hat

To the man up stairs

[Chorus]

Leavin' the light on

Leavin' the light on

Burning the whole night through

Leavin' the light on

Leavin' the light on

So I can look at you

Your pretty brown eyes

Your legs that go forever

Still can't believe you're mine

Come on baby lets take a walk

Follow the path down to that old dock

And bring along that bottle of wine

That old moon's so bright

Just hang in' up there

Feel like I ought count' my blessings

And thank the man upstairs for

[Repeat chorus]

It's getting kinda late girl

Lets go back to the house

I wanna watch you from my pillow

Til morning rolls around so I'm

Leavin' the light on

Leavin' the light on

Burning the whole night through

Leavin' the light on

Leavin' the light on

So I can, so I can see you

Oh I wanna look at you o so I'm

I'm leavin' the light

Leavin' the light on

Oh it's burnin', oh it's burnin' through

Oh, it's burnin' through yeah

I'm leavin' the light on

I'm leavin' the light on

So I can look at you
