Hold Back the Light of Dawn

Boots Walker, Ernie Maresca

[Refrain]
There go the stars
There goes the moon
Here comes the sun
He'll be gone soon

[Verse 1]
Hold back the light of dawn
Tomorrow, he'll be gone
This time, I know that he
Loves someone more than me

Mr. Sun, pull back your light
I only have him for tonight

[Verse 2]
Hold back the light of dawn
Tomorrow, he'll be gone
These eyes will surely cry
When he tells me goodbye

Mr. Time, don't go so fast
How I pray this night will last

[Bridge]
'Cause at the break of day
I'll watch him walk away
Into the arms of my best friend
One thing I know for sure
He's all I'm living for
I'll never trust a friend again

[Verse 3]
Hold back the light of dawn
Tomorrow, he'll be gone
These lips that love just him
Tell me I'm losin' him

Tonight he's here beside me
Tomorrow, he's a memory

[Refrain]
There goes the stars
There goes the moon
Here comes the sun
He'll be gone soon

[Outro (Fade)]
Hold back the light of dawn
Tomorrow, he'll be gone
Hold back the light of dawn
Tomorrow, he'll be gone
Hold back the light of dawn
Tomorrow, he'll be gone...
