I can't light No more of your darkness All my pictures Seem to fade to black and white I'm growing tired And time stands still before me Frozen here On the ladder of my life Too late To save myself from falling I took a chance And changed your way of life But you misread My meaning when I met you Closed the door And left me blinded by the light Don't let the Sun go down on me (don't let the Sun) Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life (don't let the Sun) to wander free But losing everything is like the Sun going down on me I can't find Oh, the right romantic line But see me once And see the way I feel Don't discard me Just because you think I mean you harm But these cuts I have Oh, they need love to help them heal Don't let the Sun go down on me (don't let the Sun) Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life (don't let the Sun) to wander free But losing everything is like the Sun going down on me Don't let the Sun go down on me (don't let the Sun) Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life (don't let the Sun) to wander free, yeah But losing everything is like the Sun going down on me

A música foi composta pela parceria clássica do músico britânico Elton John e do letrista Bernie Taupin.
A versão original de estúdio, lançada no álbum Caribou em 1974, alcançou o segundo lugar na parada Billboard Hot 100 dos EUA.
No Reino Unido, a gravação inicial posicionou-se na 16ª posição da parada de singles, o UK Singles Chart.
Uma versão ao vivo em dueto com George Michael tornou-se sucesso número 1 no Reino Unido em 1991 e nos Estados Unidos em 1992.
Elton John e George Michael realizaram sua primeira performance conjunta dessa música durante o concerto Live Aid, no Estádio de Wembley, em julho de 1985.
