Lyrics: Carl Smith. If I Could Hold Back The Dawn.

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
