[Verse 1]
You’re still asleep
Hair in my hands
Morning is caught
In your lashes and plans
I’m wide awake
Holding my breath
Watching the sunrise
Trace you in red
[Chorus]
Dawn on your face
Soft as a secret
Light on your mouth
Learning your name
If this is a dream
Don’t let me leave it
I want to remember
The dawn on your face
[Verse 2]
You stir a bit
Steal all the quilt
Murmur my name
Like a half-finished guilt
I lose my place
Then find it again
There in the curve
Where your shoulder meets skin
[Chorus]
Dawn on your face
Soft as a secret
Light on your mouth
Learning your name
If this is a dream
Don’t let me leave it
I want to remember
The dawn on your face
[Bridge]
One day the clock
Will call us away
Keys and cold coffee
And stories to chase
But here in this hush
Time slips
Erased
All that I know
Is your dawning face
[Chorus]
Dawn on your face
Soft as a secret
Light on your mouth
Learning your name
If this is a dream
Let’s never leave it
I’ll always remember
The dawn on your face
