Rick Trevino - Looking For The Light lyrics

When I was young, I was frightened by shadow monsters on my wall And I was convinced, they would get me in the dark, if I slept at all I knew she was there in her bedroom, so I'd tiptoe down the hall Lay my head on the floor and try to see under her door I was looking for the light When it was on, I knew everything was all right Before I could knock, she'd open the door And I'd look up and seen that smile She always knew, when I was looking for the light At 19, I had all the answers, thought I could make it on my own As we were packing she said, "Don't ever forget, this is always your home" Soon I found a one room apartment has monsters of it's own So sometimes, I'd go out and drive by that old house And I was looking for the light When it was on, I knew everything was all right Before I could knock, she'd open the door And I'd look up and seen that smile She always knew, when I was looking for the light I stood there filled with fear, as she was pa**ing away They said, "She can't hear you now, all we can do is pray" As I squeezed her hand, she opened her eyes And smiled for me one last time She always knew, when I was looking for the light
