the dawn breaks slowly in the east
- as day defeats the night
the echo of your voice that greets
the feeble morning light
is the only answer to my silent prayer
and the promises i never make
you are always with me - your always there
in my dreams - though i am wide awake
and sometimes a forbidden glance
will give my heart away
the light that kindled our romance
may flicker through the gray
all the gold and silver at the rainbows end
all earthly goods - i’ll forsake
for each shooting star - a wish i send
and i dream - though i am wide awake
you were the rolling tidal wave
that swept my barren shores
if you will let me share your day
my life’s forever yours
i will never understand the reason why
we fail to learn from our mistakes
i will wait for you as the days go by
with my dream - though i am wide awake
