“Put the Lights Out, Maggie” — lyrics

Words and music by Andru Bemis

Put the lights out, Maggie
We don’t need them anymore
Sun come down from heaven gonna light up the world
Dry your eyes my darling
You won’t never cry no more
Sun come down from heaven gonna light up the world

When the sun comes up you know he brings us a new day
Shows us a new way of life in the world
When the sun comes up you know he brings us a new day
Shows us a new way of life in the world

I know you’re tired, Maggie
I’m tired too
Sun come down from heaven gonna light up the world
I’m gonna keep my eyes on Jesus
Gonna do what he wants me to
Sun come down from heaven gonna light up the world

When the sun comes up you know he brings us a new day
Shows us a new way of life in the world
When the sun comes up you know he brings us a new day
Shows us a new way of life in the world

Put the lights out, Maggie, we don’t need them anymore
Sun come down from heaven gonna light up the world
