Before the dawn

I hear you whisper

In your sleep "don't let the morning take him"

Outside the birds begin to call

As if to summon up my leaving

It's been a lifetime

Since I found someone

Since I found someonewho would stay

I've waited too long

And now you're leaving

Oh please don't take it all away

It's been a lifetime

Since I found someone

Since I found someonewho would stay

I've waited too long

And now you're leaving

Oh please don't take it all away

Before the dawn

I hear you whisper

In your sleep "don't let the morning take him"
