Raspberries - I Reach For The Light Lyrics






I can't begin to count the times
I have been by myself
I lie wake my lonely room
Tells me there's no one else
No one else

I reach for the light
It shines above my head
Reveals the bed that you're not in
I reach for the light
It shines across the room
And brings to mind what might have been

I tell myself I'm better off
No one can have me now
I see your crumpled photograph
It makes me laugh aloud
Laugh aloud

I reach for the light
It shines above my head
Reveals the bed that you're not in
I reach for the light
It shines across the room
And brings to mind what might have been

And I wish I could forget
How good you look, tonight
When you smiled at me
And walked away with him
Oh, oh no!

I reach for the light
It shines above my head
Reveals the bed that you're not in
I reach for the light
It shines across the room
And brings to mind what might have been

I reach for the light, now
(I reach for the light)
I tell myself I'm better off
No one can hurt me now
(I reach for the light)
I see your crumpled photograph
It makes me laugh aloud
(I reach for the light)
I lay wake my lonely room
Tells me there's no one there
(I reach for the light)

  1. b.... ....

    Very Badfinger

  2. D.... W....

    What a voice

  3. D.... W....

    Why wasn't this top ten?

  4. T.... ....

    Eric once said he was wanting a Penny Lane horn solo in this song

    T.... ....

    Certainly makes sense, in this context.

  5. R.... ....

    Remember the days when music was excellent? Here's a reminder.

    R.... ....

    RecordWarped
    The best.

    Raspberries have got to be the most underrated band ever. Awesome vocals, lyrics. Tap your toe, sing out loud, wake up smiling music. I love Eric Carmen's voice. The versatility of their music is epic. Still Fresh today. Somebody nominate them for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Pleeeeeeease!

    K.... F....

    They definitely should be put in The Rock of Fame!!! What's the deal??!!

  7. M.... R....

    Paul McCartney on lead vocal with guitar work by George Harrison and horns courtesy of George Martin.  Very Abbey Road-esque.  This is what the Beatles may have continued to sound like had they remained together.

    M.... R....

    Yeah...you're right!!

    M.... R....

    Mooncut i agree 100% !!! All good :)

  8. b.... ....

    Faul McCartney on lead vocals ladies and gentlemen.

  9. H.... D....

    I swear this song is like some kind of late 70s Paul McCartney out of body experience.

  10. c.... j....

    I am in total agreement. This lp is full of gems...

  11. P.... ....

    This LP "Fresh" is stacked with gems...I think its my favorite Raspberries LP..only problem is that all 4 of them are masterpieces IMHO...

  12. D.... ....

    Me, too. I display it in my livingroom...if I had a frame, I could hang it from the wall. Rock on...

  13. J.... G....

    TREMENDOUS album!

  14. R.... W....

    Fresh had all kinds of possible hits. Let's Pretend is my fave Rasp. tune...

  15. g.... e....

    Este Lp que está com a capa bem danificada ainda me agrada pelas baladas suaves que o Eric Carmem e sua banda apresentava, aonde estão? não ouve-se falar nada deles, não é verdade?

  16. S.... ....

    I STILL have this LP !!

  17. x.... ....

    @rin3guy Got to agree.

  18. r.... ....

    This is one of many non-charting Raspberries album tracks that easily could have been hits had they been released as 45s! Eric Carmen is not only an excellent singer, he is also a master composer, with his songs having been covered by dozens of artists, many of whom had Top 10 hits with his material.
