Hey, did you happen to see my sweet baby?
  He was walkin on down the road
  Tell him for me that if you see him tonight
  Everything is alright
  'Cause I know how he gets when he's low
  Oh, he's a beautiful man
  Kinda hard to understand but
  He's the only good man that I know
  Won't you tell him for me
  I'm keepin a light shinin in the window
  Just in case he decides to come home
  Shining in the window just in case he decides to come home
  (He's a beautiful man, kinda hard to understand)
  But he's the only good man that I know
  Won't you tell him for me? (Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him)
  I'm keeping a light (Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him) shining in the window
  Just in case he decides to come home (ooh, ah)
  Shining in the window
  Just in case he decides to come home
  Oh, we had quite a spat and that was all that but
  We both said things that we didn't mean
  Won't you tell him for me (Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him)
  I'm keeping a light (Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him) shining in the window
  Just in case he decides to come home (ooh, ah)
  Shining in the window
  In case he decides to come home
  I'm keepin (ooh, ah) a light, baby
  Just in case he decides to come home
  Can't (ooh, ah) you see the light?
  Can't (ooh, ah) you see the light?
  Keepin (ooh, ah) a light, baby
  Just in case he decides to come home
  Oh, (Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him) just in case, just in case
  I'm keeping a light, baby (Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him)
  Just in case, just in case
  Oh say can you see (Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him)
  My light, shinin,' shining, (Just in case) shining
  I wonder can you see my light shinin, (Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him, just in case) burnin, shinin, burnin, shinin, burnin
