Story Behind the Song
The end of a relationship is powerful fodder for a song - perhaps that's why it's been written about it so much.
This is my take on it.
Lyrics
Let’s get up with the dawn.
Before that precious light is gone.
We can breathe the dew by the misty lake and watch the sun.
Don’t let the morning go.
Cause there’s a million things to know.
We’ll climb a mountain trail, launch a boat and sail, slow.
Ohh... I know you have to go, tomorrow.
I want to live a lifetime with you today.
A sweet romantic lifetime,
Before you take my heart and walk away.
It’s going to take a lifetime,
To forget your haunting eyes.
I want to live a lifetime with you today,
Before we say good-bye.
Eternal chemistry.
But we were never meant to be.
I’m a meadowlark, you’re a wandering bark, lost at sea.
And so you’ll glide ahead.
Leaving such beauty in your stead.
And like an autumn leaf, I’ll press you in a book I’ve read.
Ohh…I know you have to go, tomorrow.
Open up the blinds.
I feel reborn.
Tomorrow may be cold,
But today’s so warm…
Let’s get up with the dawn, before that precious light is gone…
