Storybook Children - Bette Midler

Daybreak

How can I ever leave this place beside you?

You were the only one I ever cried to

The night is through

Now it’s heartache

I got to get home before he sees it’s daybreak

Light from the sky is shining through the curtain lace

I never really meant to stay

And now it’s daybreak

We were just sitting and talking

Oh, who would have thought we’d be spending the night

Dreading the light of daybreak?

How can I leave this place beside you?

How can I leave you, baby, leave you?

I don’t want to go

And now it’s daybreak

We were like storybook children

Hey, but, like all good fairytales, this one must end

Here is the end.

It’s daybreak

How can I ever leave this place beside you?

You were the only one I ever cried to

The night is through

Lord knows it’s daybreak

And it feels like heartbreak

I don’t want to leave you

I don’t want to leave you, I need you!

Looks like it’s daybreak

But it feels like it’s heartache

I don’t want to leave you

Don’t make me leave you, I need you!

Daybreak

Sunlight shining through the lace

I need you

Sun is smiling on your face

I need you

Don’t make me leave you!

Lord!
