Keep a Light in the Window

Now it was just the other day These are the words I heard a soldier sing He said, "Tell my babe To keep a light in the window Till I come home, till I come home" Well, I don't know How long or how soon Maybe tomorrow, it may be never Or maybe this afternoon Somebody tell my baby To please keep a light, keep a light Keep a light in the window Till I come home, home, home Now darlin' you know How much I need you You see I been gone So long, so long But there's nothing Will ever change the way I feel I'm just asking you to hold on, baby Please hold on, listen I'm risking my life every day To end this fight But deep down inside my soul right now I believe I know, I said, I know this cause is right I just want you, baby Please keep a light Keep a light burning In the window Till I, till I, till I, till I, till I come on home again --- Keep a Light In the Window - Solomon Burke
