Before the dawn

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"
