Then Came The Dawn

Lyric: Al Dubin

Original publisher: Gene Austin, Inc.

Verse 1:

Last night I heard you say you love me,
Last night I saw my dreams come true;
And as the morning broke above me,
My dreams were broken, too;

Chorus:

Last night I was in heaven,
And then came the dawn;
Holding you tight was heaven,
And then you were gone.
With lips to lips and both our hearts in tune,
Somebody had to go and move the moon.
Last night I was in heaven,
And then came the dawn too soon.

Verse 2:

When evening shadows are descending,
Love sings her sweetest melodies;
But then, why should there be an ending
To happy memories?

[Chorus]
