Laurie Lewis – That Dawn the Day You Left Me lyrics

So
early on that morning the, moon still way up high The
moon still way up high Though
soon enough the sun would warm the colors of the sky I
lay awake I could not sleep or even close my eyes And
dear you seemed so restless too I should have realized The

house was dark the moonlight was inviting and so strange I
went out by the window to watch the morning change And
just before the break of dawn and bird began to sing And
somehow then it came to me just what the day would bring That

dawn the day you left me was so beautiful and sad How
could I have turned away from the troubles that we had I
know you tried to make me see and no I never would Too
late that dawn the day you left I finally understood A

stray old cat did walk the fence outside my window bed He
stopped and looked my way and then he went without a care And
I wondered when heÂ'd ramble back or why he ever should But
I knew that he was just like you and that he never would That

dawn the day you left me was so beautiful and sad How
could I have turned away from the troubles that we had Those
words you spoke now ring so true just like you said they would Too
late that dawn the day you left I finally understood
