by Deadric Malone Joe Scott recording of 19 from The Best Of Bobby "Blue" Bland (MCA 31219) Without a warning you broke my heart, you took it darlin' and you tore it apart You left me sitting in the dark, crying, you said your love for me was dying I'm begging you, baby, I'm begging you, please, come on baby, come on please I'm begging you baby, baby, please, come on baby, baby, please Turn on the light, let it shine on me, turn on your love light, let it shine on me Let it shine, shine, shine, let it shine I got a little lonely in the middle of the night, I need you darlin' to make things all right A Little bit higher, just a little bit higher __________ Note: one of eleven Top Ten list R&B hits of Bobby Bland, "Turn On Your Love Light" went on to become an R&B standard.
