Too hot to sleep, the moon is nearly full
The cool light flooding through the window’s
The only comfort in this room
I lie awake and wonder how we ever got this far
From a love that could move mountains
To this empty valley where we are
You’re sleeping soundly within inches of my arms
But you’re far beyond my reach tonight
And no sign where your love has gone
I only wanted to love you the best way I knew how
But my best just isn’t good enough
For the broken man beside me now
Hope lies deep, won’t you raise your eyes to me, I’ll be here…
Where angels sleep, none will keep my company
Here in the dark before the dawn
Was the flame too bright to burn on endlessly?
Too familiar in this love that fades now from your memory
I want to believe there’s a way to make things right
There’s an answer for us waiting
Somewhere in the morning light
Hope lies deep, won’t you raise your eyes to me, I’ll be here…
Where angels sleep, none will keep my company
Here in the dark before the dawn
No words could wound so deeply as the weight of this hush
What a fool I was to believe I could love enough for both of us
Hope lies deep, won’t you raise your eyes to me, I’ll be here…
Where angels sleep, none will keep my company
Here in the dark before the dawn
Hope lies deep, won’t you raise your eyes to me, I’ll be here…
Where angels sleep, none will keep my company
Here in the dark before the dawn
Here in the dark before the dawn
