Before the dawn I hear you whisper In your sleep don't let the morning take him 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 Outside the birds

Don't let him take me If you can keep me I've got my man Don't let him handle me and drive me mad I love you, Porgy I wanna stay here with you forever I loves you, Porgy I wanna stay here with you forever and I'll be glad Yes, I loves you, Porgy

I love you, Porgy Don't let him take me Don't let him handle me If you can keep me I want to stay here With you forever And drive me mad I've got my man And I'll be glad

Don't let him take me If you can keep me I've got my man Don't let him handle me and drive me mad I love you, Porgy I wanna stay here with you forever I loves you, Porgy I wanna stay here with you forever and I'll be glad Yes, I loves you, Porgy

Who let you down? I don't wanna cause you pain When it comes to me, I don't wanna cause you pain I'm tryna take away your pain Don't wanna stay but you won't go now If he ever took that opportunity to break your trust I hate him, it's gon' come around

I love you, Porgy Don't let him take me Don't let him handle me If you can keep me I want to stay here With you forever And drive me mad I've got my man And I'll be glad
