Please keep the porch light on for me
I don't know how long I'll be
When the sun goes down
And you think that I am lost
I'll still need your light to see
Please don't give up on me
I need you to believe
That home is where I'm gonna be
So keep the light on
And don't give up on me
Please keep the fire in the stove
I hate to make you wait alone
I may not be there yet
But please don't ever forget
I'll still need your love to guide me home
Please don't give up on me
I need you to believe
That home is where I'm gonna be
So keep the light on
And don't give up on me
I'm counting on you, I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you to count on me
I'm counting on you, I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you to count on me
I'm counting on you, I'm counting on you
(Please don't just love me for who I could be)
I'm counting on you to count on me
(I need you to love me as I am)
I'm counting on you, I'm counting on you
(I may not always be believable)
I'm counting on you to count on me
(But please believe me, please believe)
Please don't give up on me
I need you to believe
That home is where I'm gonna be
So keep the light on
'Cause it's your love that's guiding me
So keep the light on
Yours is the face I wanna see
So keep the light on
And don't give up on me
