  • 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 Writer/s: GLENN RAYMOND TIPTON, KENNETH DOWNING, ROBERT HALFORD
