Text/Music: Norman Harris, Allan Felder, Earl Young, Ronnie Baker
Single: 1975 - Hold back the night/Scruboard - 01 [Buddah - M 27.019]

Hold back the night, turn on the lights
Don't wanna dream about you, Baby (dream about you, baby)
Hold back the night, turn on the lights
Don't wanna dream about you Baby (dream about you baby)

When you left, you took the sun right out of the sky (oh, yes you did)
Wondered why you went away, never told me why
When the sun goes down and the moon is near
I'm scared to death 'cause your face appears

Hold back the night, turn on the lights
Don't wanna dream about you baby (dream about you baby)
Hold back the night, turn on the lights
Don't wanna dream about you Baby (dream about you baby)

Loneliness is haunting me when I go to bed honey
Like a character in a book... that I read
when the sun goes down the moon is near
I'm scared to death 'cause your face appears

Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it

. . . . . .

Hold back the night, turn on the lights
Don't wanna dream about you baby (dream about you baby)
Hold back the night, turn on the lights
Don't wanna dream about you baby (dream about you baby)

The sun goes down the moon is near
I'm scared to death 'cause your face appears

Hold back the night, turn on the lights
Don't wanna dream about you baby (dream about you baby)
No no please darling (Hold back the night), No! (turn on the lights)
No more, no more, no more, no more (Don't wanna dream, dream about you baby)

So tired, baby (Hold back the night, turn on the lights
Don't wanna dream about you baby (dream about you baby)
Oh, hold back the night, turn on the lights
Don't wanna dream about you baby (dream about you baby)...

Hold back the night, turn on the lights
Don't wanna dream about you baby (dream about you baby)
Oh no, oh no (Hold back the night, turn on the lights)
(Don't wanna dream about you baby, dream about you baby)

Hold back the night, turn on the lights
[fade out]
Don't wanna dream about you baby (dream about you baby)
Hold back the night, turn on the lights
Don't wanna dream about you baby (dream about you baby)

Hold back the night, turn on the lights
Don't wanna dream about you baby (dream about you baby)...
