Sometimes in the hours before dawn
I wake up to the words of some old song
And think of childhood memories and laughter
And how you always used to always sing along
Sometimes in the hours before dawn
I find you in a vision or some dream
Some place where you are safe from all the sorrow
Where everything is simply as it seems
Sometimes when I'm half awake and dreaming
I hear your laughter and I call your name
Remembering the happiness you brought me
And knowing life cannot be quite the same
Sometimes before dawn, there is a sadness
That through my waking hours, lingers on
But my love for you forever shines immortal
Sometimes in the hours before dawn
