He said all the words he hid away

To a girl who knew his ways

And she didn't hesitate

To tell him that he was a fool

He was saying nothing new

And the morning came too soon

 

He'd cry the night away

Until the morning rays caught his eye

While she was far away

She never thought again

Of the man she left behind

 

So many times he'd tried to tell her

But she never got the point

He was convinced she wanted him

But that wasn't right

 

The letter telling him the truth

Was so simple that he knew

What her words could always do

He read it over once or twice

Thought it really was quite nice

Felt it cut him like a knife

 

Then he cried the night away

And never thought again

Of the girl he thought he knew

But when the night had gone away

He found along the way

That morning comes too soon

 

REPEAT

 

And who can say which one was right

Things look different late at night

As they watched the pale moonlight

It seems their love was just a game

And it wasn't quite the same

When the morning finally came
