Keep on sleeping, girl, it's dawning

I won't be with you
I won't be with you
Good-bye
Good-bye
Please, don't cry
Please, don't cry
We should try

To get together one more time
To get together one more time
So catch a train and you can make the next town
So catch a train and you can make the next town
To see the show

I will be singing one more time
I will be singing one more time
And yours will be the only face in the front row
And yours will be the only face in the front row
Good-bye, my girl, oooh

When you wake up in the morning, ye-yea-yeah
