Lyrics[]
She’s singing softly in the night
Praying for the morning light
She dreams of how they used to be
At dawn they will be free
Memories they haunt his mind
Save him from the endless night
She whispers warm and tenderly
Please come back to me
And when the golden sun arises far across the sea
The dawn will break as darkness fades forever we’ll be free
Never forget what I did, what I said
When I gave you all my heart and soul
Morning will come and I know we’ll be one
‘Cause I still believe that you’ll remember me
She mourns beneath the moonlit sky
Remembering when they said goodbye
Where’s the one he used to know
It seems so long ago
And when the golden sun arises far across the sea
The dawn will break as darkness fades forever we’ll be free
Never forget what I did, what I said
When I gave you all my heart and soul
Morning will come and I know we’ll be one
‘Cause I still believe that you’ll remember me
Never forget what I did, what I said
When I gave you all my heart and soul
Morning will come and I know we’ll be one
‘Cause I still believe that you’ll remember me
Oh, I still believe that you’ll remember me
Oh, I still believe that you’ll remember me
