Made me see what Iâd closed off
I had forgotten what she meant to me
And how sheâd stood by me when things were rough
She said «Oh baby never sell yourself short
For me you got it, I got faith in you
Only way you could lose it you know
Is if you close off the love thatâs in you.»
Trim up your love light, love mine,
Trim up your love light, love mine,
Trim it up, trim it up, trim it up
Trim it up, trim it up, trim it up
Trim up your love light, love mine
Let it shine, shine, shine.
At night I would sing in the Crown bar
It brought me down, it was emptier day by day
That darling girl sheâd come up behind me
Sheâd whisper «I love you, send your blues away».
Sheâd say «Oh baby never sell yourself short
For me you got it, I got faith in you
Only way you could lose it you know
Is if you close off the love thatâs in you
Donât close it off, donât close it off.»
Come ten oâclock we moved out to the street
We looked in each otherâs eyes
We had this special song we used to sing
Just to keep from crying - it went like this:
Trim up your love light, love mine,
Trim up your love light, love mine,
Trim it up, trim it up, trim it up
Trim it up, trim it up, trim it up
Trim up your love light, love mine
Let it shine, shine, shine.
