Lyrics
Hugo: I can't light no more of your darkness All my pictures seem to fade to black and white I'm growing tired and time stands still before me Frozen here on the ladder of my life

Bob: It's much too late to save myself from falling I took a chance and changed your way of life But you misread my meaning when I met you Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Both: Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Hugo: I can't find, oh, the right romantic line But see me once and see the way I feel

Bob (Hugo): Don't discard me (Ooh yeah) Just because you think I mean you harm (Just because you think I mean you harm, oh) But these cuts I have (Cuts I have) Oh, they need love (They need love, they need love) To help them heal

Both: Oh, don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, oh But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Don't let the sun go down on me

Bob: Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see, yeah

Hugo: I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, oh

Both: But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
