Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
It's four in the morning and once more the dawning Just woke up the wanting in me Wishing I'd never met her, knowing if I'd forget her How much better off she would be The longer I hold on and the longer this goes on The harder that it's gonna be But it's four in the morning and once more the dawning Just woke up the wanting in me I've never deserved her, God knows when I hurt her That's the last thing that I want to do She tries but she can't tell how she feels But I know too well what she's going through If I love her so much, I don't know why I can't do The right thing and just let her be But it's four in the morning and once more the dawning Just woke up the wanting in me Last night, I told her this time it's all over Making ten times I've told her goodbye Last night we broke up, this morning I woke up And for the tenth time I'm changing my mind I saw more love in her eyes when I left her Than most foolish men will ever see And it's four in the morning and once more the dawning Just woke up the wanting in me It's four in the morning and once more the dawning Just woke up the wanting in me
