Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You say your dreams are burned to ashes
And all your smiles have turned to tears
It seems to me you welcome sadness
As you surrender to your fears
[Verse 2]
So what's a man like me supposed to do
When all I want is just to make love to you?
[Verse 3]
Don't turn away before the night is over
Don't turn away before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away before the night
Before the night is gone
[Verse 4]
You say your heart is lost forever
And you're always gonna give your love in vain
So you paint yourself a lonely portrait
And hide your love away again
[Verse 5]
You turn away from what you feel inside
You can't forget all your foolish pride
[Verse 6]
Don't turn away before the night is over
Don't turn away before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night is gone
[Verse 7]
So now I'm asking you this question
Am I gonna give you all my love in vain
Do you wanna drown in your own sorrow
Or are you gonna try to love again
[Verse 8]
Don't turn away from what you feel inside
You should try to forget about all your foolish pride
[Verse 9]
Don't turn away before the night is over
Don't turn away before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night, before the night, ooh
Before the night is gone
[Verse 10]
Don't turn away from me, baby
No, no, no, no
Don't push me away
Don't walk away from me, darling
I need your love, ooh baby
I need your love to rescue me
And I'm coming for you, baby
