Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

The letters that I meant to send are still unsigned

I let the distance grow because I lost my mind

I know I said the things that pushed you toward the door

But I've been standing here just wishing for one more

[verse]

The city lights are dimming, and I'm dialing your name

Praying that tonight it won't ring out the same

I know that pride has cost me more than I could pay

So before the dark comes down, don't let it end this way

[chorus]

Don't let the sun go down before we say we're sorry

Don't let the quiet win before you hear my story

I'd rather lose the whole wide world than lose this friend of mine

So hold on just a little while, don't let the sun go down tonight

[verse]

We used to laugh until the morning came around

Now every word we speak just makes another sound of nothing

But I remember every promise that we made

Don't let it all dissolve before the light can fade

[chorus]

Don't let the sun go down before we say we're sorry

Don't let the quiet win before you hear my story

I'd rather lose the whole wide world than lose this friend of mine

So hold on just a little while, don't let the sun go down tonight

[bridge]

If I could turn the hours back I'd hold you closer than before

I'm reaching out my hand across this open door

[chorus]

Don't let the sun go down before we say we're sorry

Don't let the quiet win before you hear my story

I'd rather lose the whole wide world than lose this friend of mine

So hold on just a little while, don't let the sun go down tonight

## Lyrics
[verse]
The letters that I meant to send are still unsigned
I let the distance grow because I lost my mind
I know I said the things that pushed you toward the door
But I've been standing here just wishing for one more

[verse]
The city lights are dimming, and I'm dialing your name
Praying that tonight it won't ring out the same
I know that pride has cost me more than I could pay
So before the dark comes down, don't let it end this way

[chorus]
Don't let the sun go down before we say we're sorry
Don't let the quiet win before you hear my story
I'd rather lose the whole wide world than lose this friend of mine
So hold on just a little while, don't let the sun go down tonight

[verse]
We used to laugh until the morning came around
Now every word we speak just makes another sound of nothing
But I remember every promise that we made
Don't let it all dissolve before the light can fade

[chorus]
Don't let the sun go down before we say we're sorry
Don't let the quiet win before you hear my story
I'd rather lose the whole wide world than lose this friend of mine
So hold on just a little while, don't let the sun go down tonight

[bridge]
If I could turn the hours back I'd hold you closer than before
I'm reaching out my hand across this open door

[chorus]
Don't let the sun go down before we say we're sorry
Don't let the quiet win before you hear my story
I'd rather lose the whole wide world than lose this friend of mine
So hold on just a little while, don't let the sun go down tonight
