Cheryl Lynn - Topic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can I ever leave this place beside you?
You were the only one I ever cried to
The night is through
And now it's heartache
I should be home before he sees it's daybreak
Light from the sky is shining through the curtain lace
And now it's daybreak
We were just sitting and talking
Oh, who would have thought we'd be spending the night
Dreading the light of daybreak?
And now it's daybreak
We were like storybook children
Hey, but, like all good fairytale, this one must end
Here is the end it's nearly daybreak
How can I ever leave this place beside you?
You were the only one I ever cried to
The night is through
How can I ever leave?
In the night I'm suppose to leave
But what can I do?
What can I say, what can I do? But pray

Daybreak
The arrival of morning
How can I ever leave this place beside you?
I am having a hard time saying goodbye to you
You were the only one I ever cried to
You are the only person I ever felt comfortable enough to cry in front of
The night is through
The night has come to an end
And now it's heartache
I am feeling emotional pain
I should be home before he sees it's daybreak
I need to leave before my significant other notices I am not home
Light from the sky is shining through the curtain lace
The sun's rays are peeking through the curtains
I never really meant to stay
I did not intend to spend the night
And now it's daybreak
Morning has arrived
We were just sitting and talking
We were spending time together having a conversation
Oh, who would have thought we'd be spending the night
It was unexpected that we would end up spending the night together
Dreading the light of daybreak?
Feeling anxious about the morning and having to leave
We were like storybook children
We were happy and carefree like children in a storybook
Hey, but, like all good fairytale, this one must end
This enjoyable time must come to an end
Here is the end it's nearly daybreak
This is the end of our time together, morning is approaching
How can I ever leave?
It is difficult to say goodbye
In the night I'm suppose to leave
I was supposed to leave during the nighttime
But what can I do?
I don't know what to do
What can I say, what can I do? But pray
All I can do is hope for the best
