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
Uh uh uh uh, just 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 uh uh uh, just 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 uh uh uh, just before dawn
Uh uh uh uh, just before dawn
