Are You Still Lighting Up For Me

The telephone rang in the middle of the night
And I jumped up out of bed
All the things that could be wrong
Rushed into my head
A strange voice in the darkness
Asked if it was me
I strained to hear a familiar tone
And wondered who could it be?

Suddenly I heard your voice
A voice that I once knew
From a long time back
When a memory was
Made by me and you

I stepped outside so I could talk
and find some privacy
When a thousands lights all flashed at once like I was in a dream

Chorus
All the lights around me
Going out then reappearing
Were not so different than
The voice on the line that I was hearing
Are you still lighting up for me?

Fireflies on the hillsides
And underneath the trees
Across the field they lit the night
Like a phosphorescent sea




Each one lighting up the way
To bring a lover home
Flashing bright in a dark hot night
Trying not to be alone

Chorus
All the lights around me
Going out then reappearing
Were not so different than
The voice on the line that I was hearing
Are you still lighting up for me?

We can’t go back to a time that’s past
Love can be so fleeting
Bridges burned and lessons learned
Maybe this all had no meaning

But something I can give to you is the voice that you are hearing
Time and time and time again
It’s a small gift that I am giving

Are you still lighting up for me?

Of all those flashing lights that shown
Yours was bright and searing
A white hot light in the neon nights
But your light kept disappearing

Are you still lighting up for me?
