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
