Lyrics
I spent a lonely day in dreaming
Thinking of tonight and you
Now that you are here and all my dreams come true
The night will soon be through
Chorus
Hold back the dawn
Let this night linger here forever
Just you and I together from now on
Hold back the dawn
For each second tonight we borrow
We’ll pay an hour tomorrow when its gone
Dawning morning means another new day away
And that means a blue day
Hold back the dawn
Love tonight should be never ending
We’ll just go on pretending
And hold back the dawn
