Lyrics

Don't Wait for Daylight

[Guitar Intro]

(One, two, three, four)

(One, two, three, four)

(One, two, three, four)

(One, two, three, four)…

[Verse 1]

Is this all that you could do?

Wait for them to come to you

Tell yourself that it's right

Where were you the night before?

Someone saw you at his door

Searching eyes are on fire

For the answers you hide

Would you let them find the light

[Chorus]

Don't wait for daylight

Don't run from tonight

Just open your eyes

The stars fade with the light

[Verse 2]

What if they don't believe

You just went there to leave

Could not know that he would try

To get back at you that night just for saying goodbye

You left wearing his coat

Then found his final note

That he meant for his bride

[Chorus]

Don't wait for daylight

Don't run from tonight

Just open your eyes

The stars fade with the light

[Bridge]

Sing out, sing out

Your voice is all you have

Sing out, sing out…

Sing out, sing out

I know you will

Sing out, sing out…

Sing out, sing out

It's up to you

Sing out, sing out

[Chorus]

Don't wait for daylight

Don't run from tonight

Just open your eyes

'Cuz all the stars fade with the light

[Outro]

Sing out, sing out

It's up to you

Sing out, sing out…

Sing out, sing out

I know you will

Sing out, sing out…
