Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Love, my love
You're the light when I'm scared of the dark
You're the name that I write on my heart
While we're staring at the ceiling made of stars
Talking 'bout one day this world's gonna be ours, and
[PreChorus]
I'll be the last thing you see when you fall asleep
Don't you forget me, I'm stuck back at seventeen
[Chorus]
Baby, kiss me now like this is the last time
'Cause we can't be kids for a lifetime
And if you run back when the time's right
I will be waiting here by the nightlight
Now I'm not afraid of dark
'Cause it's the last place that I saw into your heart
So if we can't be kids for a lifetime
I will be waiting here by the nightlight
[Refrain]
Whoa
Nightlight, nightlight, nightlight
Whoa
I will be waiting here by the nightlight
[Verse 2]
My love
We would dance like we're frozen in time
You would sing and the stars would align
And the small town streets were stadiums to you and I
Now all I have left is your lullaby
[PreChorus]
I'll be the last thing you see when you fall asleep
Don't you forget me, I'm stuck back at seventeen
[Chorus]
Baby, kiss me now like this is the last time
'Cause we can't be kids for a lifetime
And if you run back when the time's right
I will be waiting here by the nightlight
Now I'm not afraid of dark
'Cause it's the last place that I saw into your heart
So if we can't be kids for a lifetime
I will be waiting here by the nightlight
[Outro]
Whoa
Nightlight, nightlight, nightlight
Whoa
I will be waiting here by the nightlight
