Sun Comes Up

John Legend · Other Songs - John Legend

I know you think IÂ’m like the other man
You let him in and then he breaks your heart again
But this thing is more than physical
I free your mind and I bless your soul

Tonight weÂ’re gonna lose track of time
Body and soul will intertwine
And weÂ’ll stay here the rest of the night

Baby when the sun comes up
IÂ’m gonna be holding you
Its destiny that youÂ’re next to me
IÂ’m in love with you
Oh baby, when I wake up,
IÂ’m gonna be next to you
a new day rise
I wanna look in your eyes, IÂ’m in love with you

Wait a minute baby, IÂ’m not through
I intend to spend more than one night with you
A love affair that never ends
Like the old song says “lets do it again”

Come with me
I know youÂ’ll stay
YouÂ’ll wake up in the morning to a brand new day
That begins the rest of your life

And baby,
Baby when the sun comes up
I'm gonna be holding you
Its destiny that youÂ’re next to me
IÂ’m in love with you
Oh baby, when I wake up,
IÂ’m gonna be next to you
A new day rise
I wanna look in your eyes

And when morning breaks
Ill awaken and I wonÂ’t want you to go
When your gone ill hold on to the memory all day

Baby when the sun comes up
Yeah, yeah yeah

So listen here now
I know youÂ’ve been hurt by the wonderful
And I know your pain
And I know you thought youÂ’d never love again
But I know the way
Yeah yeah yeah
I know about your circumstance, but love is here with a second chance
So ah take my hand and follow me
YouÂ’ll never want to leave
YouÂ’ll still be here, oh yeah when the sun comes up
