Strangers By the Dawn

Intro

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Summer in your eyes

Verse 1

Your hand fit in mine

We stayed out past nine

We laughed by the shore

Then wished for some more

The morning came on

And then you were gone

We said we'd meet again

Hook

Strangers by the dawn

Pre-Chorus

We said we'd meet again

But didn't know just when

You looked into my eyes

I saw our summer skies

Chorus

Could we have stayed another night?

Could we have made it feel so right?

I knew that you would soon be gone

Hook

We'd wake up as strangers by the dawn

Could we have made it somehow?

Could we have kept each other now?

I knew that you would soon be gone

Hook

We'd wake up as strangers by the dawn

Verse 2

Your flight left at dawn

I watched until you were gone

I waved until you flew

But all I saw was blue

We promised we'd stay friends

But summer always ends

You left without a sound

Hook

Strangers by the dawn

Pre-Chorus

I still remember you

And all the things we'd do

The summer slipped away

But I still feel that day

Chorus

Could we have stayed another night?

Could we have made it feel so right?

I knew that you would soon be gone

Hook

We'd wake up as strangers by the dawn

Could we have made it somehow?

Could we have kept each other now?

I knew that you would soon be gone

Hook

We'd wake up as strangers by the dawn

Bridge

Maybe another time

Maybe another life

I'd find you by the sea

And you'd still be with me

Breakdown

One last night

One last song

One last kiss

Then you were gone

No more calls

No way to know

Where you went

Or where you'd go

Interlude

Chorus

Could we have stayed another night?

Could we have made it feel so right?

I knew that you would soon be gone

Hook

We'd wake up as strangers by the dawn

Could we have made it somehow?

Could we have kept each other now?

I knew that you would soon be gone

Hook

We'd wake up as strangers by the dawn

Outro

Summer moved on

And then you were gone

One summer love

Hook

Strangers by the dawn
