lyrics

In the dawning of the day
I can see time slipping by
And you’re stepping from my doorway
as the sun begins to rise
Oh how I wish that you could stay
or I could go along
Or your arms and all you are
could make the night keep stretching on

]We both know I’ll write about this
long after you have gone
How we both know
I sure can carry on
Does it make a difference
that I know you feel it less
Or that you didn’t,
you would never let me guess

You crawled into my bed,
now return most every night
You came to me in dreaming
then moved me into life
Though I know that this is fleeting
if asked again I still would choose
The time we have is precious,
I’m spending all I have on you

We both know I’ll write about this
long after you are gone
How we both know
I sure can carry on
Does it make a difference
that I know you feel it less
Or that you didn’t,
you would never let me guess

When you move in close
so to hold me when you sleep
I know those moments loveliness
I am not meant to keep
It’s the things you say in darkness
that you never say in light
For that trespass I’ll forgive you
if right now you’ll hold me tight
