The dawn breaks slowly in the east
as day defeats the night.
The echo of your voice that greets
the feeble morning light
is the only answer to my silent prayer
and promises I never make.
You are always with me, you`re always there
in my dreams, though I am wide awake.
And sometimes a forbidden glance
will give my heart away.
The light that kindles our romance
may flicker through the gray.
All the gold and silver at the rainbow`s end,
all earthly goods I will forsake.
For each shooting star, a wish I send;
and I dream though I am wide awake.
You were the rolling tidal wave
that swept my barren shores.
If you will let me share your day,
my life`s forever yours.
I will never understand the reason why
we fail to learn from our mistakes.
I will wait for you as the days go by
with my dream, though I am wide awake.
