(Rafferty)



We sat up talking right on through the night,

And the day had just begun.

Then you said let's take a walk outside

And watch the rising of the sun.



And over my head there was so much to see in the sky,

Just that feeling of being alive,

Don't let it go, don't let it slip away.



We stood around until the sky was clear,

And it was time for you to go.

I watched your figure slowly disappear

As you walked off down the road.



And over my head there was so much to see in the sky,

Just that feeling of being alive,

Don't let it go, don't let it slip away.



Don't let it go, don't let it slip away,

Don't let it go, don't let it slip away.
