Before First Light

Every step I take along the way

Every hour of every single day

You don't listen to a word I say

I stand patiently waiting here

You left a message on the nearest wall

Just the same as all the ones before

I don't believe it when you write you'll call

I stand patiently waiting here

I want you here

To help me through the night

Want you, my dear

Don't leave before first light

I want you here

To help me through the night

Every step I take along the way

Every hour of every single day

You don't listen to a word I say

I stand patiently waiting here

You left a message on the nearest wall

Just the same as all the ones before

I don't believe it when you write you'll call

I stand patiently waiting here

I want you here

To help me through the night

Want you, my dear

Don't leave before first light

I want you here

To help me through the night

I want you here

To help me through the night

Want you, my dear

Don't leave before first light

I want you here

To help me through the night

Through the night

I want you by my side tonight, baby
