When you called me and said you had to see me
|
I thought you meant to start our life anew
|
But you told me you would wed tomorrow and you just wanted one last randezvous
|
Tonight is our last night together at dawn till tomorrow you'll be gone
|
But darling this night would last forever if I could hold back the dawn
|
[ steel ]
|
When you walk down the aisle with him tomorrow
|
To take his name and whisper dear I do
|
Will you be thinkin' of the future darling or thinkin' of my last night with you
|
I wish you'd never mention your tomorrow darling when you call me on the phone
|
But there wouldn't be a new tomorrow if I could hold back the dawn
|
