They danced beneath the moon's soft glow
Laughter echoed, hearts aglow
A fateful drive, a drink in hand
A twist of fate they couldn't plan
Oh, the night was crying
As their hearts were flying
Darkness fading, hope withdrawn
Lost her at the light of dawn
Years later, the pain remains
This same night brings back the chains
Wants to forget, to numb the pain
But alcohol won't touch his veins
Oh, the night is crying
And his heart is sighing
Fighting through the darkest yawn
Until the light of dawn
At her grave, he stands alone
Her name inscribed on cold, gray stone
"Beloved wife, his guiding light"
Her name was Dawn, his heart's delight
Oh, the night is crying
And his heart is sighing
The bottle's been here since that night
Not a drop, he keeps his fight
Holding on through nights so long
Forever in the light of Dawn
