If I Could Hold Back The Dawn
Carl Smith

When you called me and said you had to see me

I thought you meant to start our life anew

But you told me you would wed tomorrow

And you just wanted one last rendezvous


Tonight is our last night together at dawn

Till tomorrow you'll be gone

But darling, this night would last forever

If I could hold back the dawn


When you walk down the aisle with him tomorrow


To take his name and whisper 'Dear, I do'

Will you be thinkin' of the future, darling

Or thinkin' of my last night with you


I wish you'd never mention your tomorrow

Darling, when you call me on the phone

But there wouldn't be a new tomorrow

If I could hold back the dawn
