I wish all the time  
that I could hold back the dawn,  
so we could spend more hours together,  
before once again from my arms  
you are gone.  
I wish the night would never end,  
with you under the moon and stars,  
and the harsh reality  
of going back to work  
would never come.  
That we could rest within each other’s arms,  
never having to let you go.  
Oh, how I just wish,  
that I could just hold back the dawn.
