Patrick Droney – When The Lights Go Out (Live on Colbert)

“When The Lights Go Out,” live on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert!


LYRICS

WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT
I want a life to remember
All of the moments wanna hold ‘em in the palm of my hand
I’m holding them tighter than ever
So that they don’t slip like sand

And oh to my heart you’re a habit
Something like beating like breathing in oxygen
But the mind can be tragic
And time makes you forget

Say you’ll love me
When the lights go out
When I’m standing in the darkest
Corner of the darkness fading out

‘cause I’ll love you, love you
When the lights go out
When memories in the water
Are ripples moving farther
Don’t you doubt

I’ll love you when the lights go out

I’m writing it down on the paper
Making a record, like an archive of me and you
So when we’re reading it later
it’ll all come back brand new

If life is but a dream
I’m scared of waking up
And losing everything
Or falling out of love
If I forget myself
I know you know me well
Enough to bring me back

Say you’ll love me
When the lights go out
When I’m standing in the darkest
Corner of the darkness fading out

‘cause I’ll love you, love you
When the lights go out
When memories in the water
Are ripples moving farther
Don’t you doubt

I’ll love you when the lights go out

Say you’ll love me when
Say you’ll love me when
When the lights go out

Say you’ll love me
When the lights go out
When I’m standing in the darkest
Corner of the darkness fading out

‘cause I’ll love you, love you
When the lights go out
When memories in the water
Are ripples moving farther
Don’t you doubt

I’ll love you when the lights go out

[DarRD]

I don't understand why this multi-talented artist is not world famous, he has everything to succeed, but I´m glad I found his music.

[hockeynpolo]

This guy needs so much more air play and recognition for truly great musical talent and lyrics.

[armc]

I am completely obsessed with this musician. I actually prefer this live recording over the studio version. The first 15 seconds are just *chef's kiss*

[MarcGantenbein]

This mans single handedly making a generation love Strats again

[johnwinton]

We saw this artist in Hyde Park in 2022, in support of the Eagles. Most impressive. Really good musician.

[lilliannajackson]

This man is one the best artists I’ve ever known to exist. It blows my mind he isn’t more famous, but at the same time that’s part of why I love him. He’s truly just making art to fill his soul

[ascensionofares]

One day when I find the woman of my dreams Patrick, I'm gonna pay big money to get you to perform live at my wedding. Your voice is absolutely breathtaking and it makes me feel so hopeful about life again. I wish you all the best in life!

[riccardogrossi]

You deserve to be a star man…your music is AMAZING

[stephanieweir]

Heaven will be this song on an endless loop.

[crewcutter]

I just realized, other than actual song being great, patricks sound engineering is also top noch.

[marcocasella]

this song is insane... amazing job patrick!

[damienking]

When I’m tuning into watch Rage on a Saturday morning to listen to the top 40 songs, this is the stuff that should be in there. Real music from an artist with talent and humility! Come and tour Australia

[ajf]

Patrick Droney is the most talented singer/songwriter AND bad ass guitarist to come along in a very long time. I encourage everyone to check out his recordings and performances - they're amazing! I can't wait to see him play live in-person.

[jplotr]

This man has a golden voice, this style of music is amazing, the band is incredible. The song is perfect

[jeanokuda]

I only recently discovered Patrick's music on Spotify and wow...This song especially just hits the spot and makes me so happy! Beautiful song...xoxo

[dironduah]

I’d like an acoustic version for my wedding Patrick 👌🏿. Amazing voice!

[danameyer]

Obsessed!! Impecable!! He needs way more credit!! This is real music!! His voice and guitar off the charts!! People are crazy if they don’t like him!! I know what real music is!! My dad is a guitar player in a blues band and this is unbelievable!!

[Nina-qurdadze]

A lonely life to remember
All of the moments, wanna hold them in the palm of my hand
I'm holding them tighter than ever so that they don't slip like sand
And oh to my heart you're a habit
Something like beating, like breathing in oxygen
Even the mind can be tragic
And time makes you forget
Oh, say you'll love me when the lights go out
When I'm standing in the darkest corner of the darkness fading out
'Cause oh, I'll love you, love you when the lights go out
When memories in the water are ripples moving farther, don't you doubt
I'll love you when the lights go out
I'm writing it down on the paper
Making a record, like an archive of me and you
So when we're reading it later, it'll all come back brand new
If life is but a dream, I'm scared of waking up and losing everything
Or falling out of love
If I forget myself, I know you know me well enough to bring me back
Oh, say you'll love me when the lights go out
When I'm standing in the darkest corner of the darkness fading out
'Cause oh, I'll love you, love you when the lights go out
When memories in the water are ripples moving farther, don't you doubt
I'll love you when the lights go out
Oh, love me when the lights go out
When I'm standing in the darkest corner of the darkness fading out
Oh, I'll love you when the lights go out
When memories in the water are ripples moving farther, don't you doubt
I'll love you when the lights go out

[ddpr]
