See the break of dawn The night will soon be gone But I got to go First laid eyes upon you When I saw you standing there All alone and forsaken Out in the darkness Your hair as dark as the river Winding its way to the sea Your eyes so deep As the ocean See the break of dawn The night will soon be gone But I leave you in the morning In the morning Tears they come crawling Down your pretty cheek When the night is over I will be long gone I hear your voice calling Wherever I may be Soft as the branches Of the willow tree All across the mountain And thru valley too Yes I've been traveling To get to you See the break of dawn The night will soon be gone But I leave you in the morning In the morning Tears they come crawling Down your pretty cheek When the night is over I will be long gone
