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"
