Lance Hatch and the Flying Cowboys: Music
Dawn
(Lance Hatch)
Somewhere between sleeping and waking
there’s a moment of total grace,
a time when I can hear my heart beating,
as I watch the light of Dawn shine upon your face.
Gently, I wrap my arm around you.
Slowly, I draw myself up to your back.
I close my eyes hoping time will stop passing.
Then I smile to myself and give thanks time won’t do that.
(CHORUS I)
And the light of Dawn shines warmly through the blinds.
You roll from me, gently rubbing your eyes.
In between your sleeping and waking,
in the light of Dawn you look at me and smile.
I hear the coffee perking in the kitchen.
The neighbor’s dog is barking in the yard.
I turn to touch you as you leave the bed.
Wondering if you know you’re leaving with my heart.
(CHORUS I)
(BRIDGE)
(CHORUS II)
And the light of Dawn gently warms the bed.
You roll from me, shakin’ your sleepy head.
In between your sleeping and waking,
in the light of Dawn you look at me and smile,
in the light of Dawn you look at me and smile,
in the light of Dawn you look at me. I smile.
