Steve Madewell: Music
Are You Still Lighting Up For Me
(Steve Madewell)
It's all in the song.
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
As I strained to hear a familiar tone
Who could this 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 lights around me
Going out then reappearing
Were not so different than
the voice that I was hearing
Are you still lighting up for me?
Fireflies on the hillsides
And floating under the trees
Lit the thick hot summer air
Like a phosphorescent sea
Each light shining to show the way
To bring a true love home
Flashing bright in a dark hot night
Trying not to be alone
Chorus
All lights around me
Going out then reappearing
Were really not so different than
the voice that I am hearing
Are you still lighting up for me.
We can’t go back to a time that’s past
Love can be so fleeting
And 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
Of all those flashing lights that shown
Yours was bright and searing
A bright hot light in a cold dark night
But the light kept disappearing
Are you still lighting up for me?
