Lyrics

Daykeeper

[PHONTE]

I can't sleep at night

Cause they won't see me

Running from the daylight

To where she keeps me

And when the sun rises she watches over me

Waiting for the daylight cause then she'll keep me

In the safety of her arms

She never leaves me

And when the sun rises she watches over me

And when the sun rises she watches over me

[MUHSINAH]

He tells me all his secrets he thinks nobody knows

We lay together in daylight

I love him so

And when the sun rises he watches over me

And when the sun rises he watches over me

[PHONTE]

Its not like it

Was before

And she can't keep me

Anymore

She loves me

Anymore

She loves me

Anymore

[MUHSINAH]

He tells me all his secrets

He thinks nobody knows

We lay together in daylight

I love him so

She loves me (*8X*)

And when the sun rises he watches over me

And when the sun rises he watches over me

-Break-

[MUHSINAH]

Why dont you stay here with me

I pray that our morning won't leave

Let me keep you

Then youll see

Dont hide the truth from yourself

Its you that i'll love and protect

Let me keep you here with me

[PHONTE]

Its not like it

Was before

And she can't keep me anymore

She loves me

Anymore

She loves me

Anymore

[MUHSINAH]

He tells me all his secrets he thinks nobody knows

We lay together in daylight I love him so

She loves me (*8X*)

And when the sun rises he watches over me

And when the sun rises he watches over me
