Wide Awake

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 sliver 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　willl 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
