Lyrics: I light one for you I light one for you Lay it in the ashtray, let it burn the whole night through Ain't nobody comin' for it, darlin' — but I light one for you The band packed up an hour ago, boys caught the last ride home Chairs go up on the tables now, and I'm sitting here alone Man says the city's sleeping, mister, ain't no reason you should stay I say leave that little lamp burning — I ain't finished with the day I light one for you I light one for you Lay it in the ashtray, let it burn the whole night through Ain't nobody comin' for it, darlin' — but I light one for you I keep her brand behind the bar, the man puts one aside Two matches on the tablecloth, one chair pushed back wide Folks think I stay for the whiskey and I let 'em think it's true But the whiskey ain't the habit, baby — the habit's lighting two I remember that first night, her red coat across the chair She asked me for a light — and I'm still standing there Now the gray comes up behind the palms and the cabs roll down the street And I'm the last man at the table where we used to meet I light one for you I light one for you Lay it in the ashtray, let it burn the whole night through Ain't nobody comin' for it, darlin' — but I light one for you Bartender, one more match I light one for you Subscribe💖    / @homeofblues   Deep Blues | Slow, Emotional & Vintage Playlist💖    • Deep Blues | Slow, Emotional & Vintage   Thank you for listening.
