Daybreak
Air Supply · The Book Of Love
It seems I'm not so strong
And suddenly, there's no more to lose
So where did I go wrong
I should have known before
Her love for me was gone
Now I'm waiting for the light
To fill this empty room
I need you now to break thru the night
Whose shadows came too soon
I waited far too long and now
I feel I can't go on
CHORUS
Daybreak, oh daybreak
I let her walk away
I should have said, don't go
I know I should have found another way
Now I don't know what to do
So daybreak, please break through
Daybreak, I feel so alone
Why won't you come to stay
I waited far too long and now
I feel I can't go on
REPEAT CHORUS
Daybreak - Air Supply
Air Supply's 'Daybreak' stands as a defining track from their 1982 album 'The Book Of Love,' exemplifying the smooth, romantic pop sound that characterized their early career. Featuring the iconic vocal duet between Gary Brooker and Russell Watson, the recording blends lush orchestration with a steady rhythm to create an atmospheric backdrop for themes of dawn and new beginnings. As a staple of their discography, the song captures the era's polished production style and remains a signature piece in their catalogue, often associated with their greatest hits collections. Its enduring appeal lies in its melodic structure and the seamless harmony between the two lead singers, cementing its place in the history of soft rock and adult contemporary music.
