Lyrics
I was proud and I was loud And I let you walk away Now the clock says half past three And I've nothing left to say But I'm sorry, and I mean it Like a prayer in an empty hall I would trade my pride for one more day I would trade it, trade it all Forgive me before the morning comes Forgive me while the night is low Forgive me before the morning comes I'm not too proud to let you know I was wrong and I was blind And I miss you more than I can say Forgive me before the morning comes And let the light come in the day I wrote it on a napkin I sang it to the wall I walked it down the avenue Where the lamps were burning small Every street still sings your name Every window holds your face All I want is one more minute In your quiet, kindly place Forgive me before the morning comes Forgive me while the night is low Forgive me before the morning comes I'm not too proud to let you know I was wrong and I was blind And I miss you more than I can say Forgive me before the morning comes And let the light come in the day Then the phone rang once, and I held my breath And a voice said, I was waiting Come on over, I've been waiting Come on over, I've been waiting too Forgive me before the morning comes Forgive me while the night is low Forgive me before the morning comes I'm not too proud to let you know I was wrong and I was blind And I miss you more than I can say Forgive me before the morning comes And let the light come in Let the light come in Before the morning comes Let the light come in
