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 someone who 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 someone who 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
