Uh uh uh uh just before dawn
Just before the sun breaks the darkness just before the shadows move on
I know a fool like me should be sleeping just uh hu uh uh before dawn
I keep telling my heart it's not worth it for all time our love's been living on
Still I'm here all alone my heart's breaking uh hu uh uh before dawn
I hold you in my arms while I'm sleeping
I awake to find the pillow I sleep on and you're gone
Just before the sun breaks the darkness just before the shadows move on
I beg my aching heart to forget you uh hu uh uh before dawn
Uh uh uh uh just before dawn
