THE LIGHT RIGHT BEFORE THE DAWN

by Stan C. Countz

IT’S THREE IN THE MORNIN’
CAN’T SEEM TO GET TO SLEEP
AS FOR THE REST OF THE HOUSE
I DON’T HEAR A SINGLE PEEP

THOSE HOT SUMMER NIGHTS
CAN BE HARD TO HANDLE
SO SHUT OFF THE LIGHTS
AND LIGHT A CANDLE

JUST CUDDLE UP WITH YOUR HUBBY OR WIFE
AND YOU CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT
SO HOLD ON TIGHT AND YOU’LL SEE THE LIGHT
THE LIGHT RIGHT BEFORE THE DAWN

WOULD YOU TRADE YOUR QUEEN FOR A PAWN?
YOU ONLY WANT SOMETHING WHEN IT’S GONE
SO KEEP HOLDIN’ ON AND YOU’LL SEE THE LIGHT
THE LIGHT RIGHT BEFORE THE DAWN

SO JUST KEEP ON KEEPIN’ ON
THOSE DOUBTS WILL SOON BE GONE
AND YOU CAN START MOVIN’ ON
TOWARD THAT DIM LINE OF LIGHT
THE LIGHT RIGHT BEFORE THE DAWN
