before the day is done

burn me slow
if you must go
sing me to sleep
so these dreams i keep
you fade like the sun
but don't go before the day is done

whisper soft
so i don't get lost
hum your song
and i'll sing along
if you stay
i'll find the words to say
before the day is done

hold me fast
so this feeling will last
mark my skin
so this day will never end
i'd be so good
if you could
stay until dawn

all these battles have already been won
there's no reason to run
so don't go before the day is done
