Lyrics
VERSE
Early in the morning
Sleep barely hangin' on by a dream
He appears to me and back in time we go
When he belonged to me

VERSE
Never quite forgotten
Though love has come and gone through the years
Those mesmerizing eyes have not let go
Through the laughter and the tears

CHORUS
So, love, where did I go wrong?
Did you ever sing to me
And I not hear your song?
If so, then love, where's my second chance?
Now that I've learned the dance
Please play me one more song

VERSE
Early in the evening
Another day behind the sun
Love visits just as surely as the night
Leaves the memory of his touch

SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Early in the morning; sleep barely hangin' on
Never quite forgotten though love has come and gone
Early in the evening; another day behind the sun
Early...
