Give Me a Sunrise
Braxton Keith Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Give Me A Sunrise
Braxton Keith, Andy Wills

I woke up she started to move
Pulled on her jeans and looked for her boots
Put her purse on gave me a nod
And headed for the door

I gently tugged on her belt loop
Said why you gotta go so soon?
Why don't you just stick around
For a little while longer

Said
Could you gimme a sunrise?
A little bit more of your time
I live on the road and I'm always alone
Could you gimme a sunrise
You look even better in the daylight
I wouldn't trade last night
But could you gimme a sunrise?

I've got a porch with a swing made for two
Coffee a' brewing and wide open views
Two ponies waiting on their morning ride
In the corral

But
Could you gimme a sunrise?
A little bit more of your time
I live on the road and I'm always alone
Could you gimme a sunrise
You look even better in the daylight
I wouldn't trade last night
But could you gimme a sunrise?

I'm wore out and lonesome
Singing these songs
But Just For A Moment
I'm where I belong

Could you gimme a sunrise?
You look even better in the daylight
I live on the road and I'm always alone
Could you gimme a sunrise
A just a little bit more of your time
I wouldn't trade last night
But could you gimme a sunrise?

Just Until Sunrise

Line by Line Meaning

I woke up she started to move
I woke up in the morning and my partner started getting dressed

Pulled on her jeans and looked for her boots
She put on her jeans and searched for her boots

Put her purse on gave me a nod
She put her purse on and nodded at me

And headed for the door
She walked towards the door

I gently tugged on her belt loop
I softly pulled on her belt loop to get her attention

Said why you gotta go so soon?
I asked why she had to leave so early

Why don't you just stick around
I suggested that she could stay a little longer

For a little while longer
Just stay for a bit longer

Could you gimme a sunrise?
Can you give me a bit more time together?

A little bit more of your time
Just a little more time spent together would be nice

I live on the road and I'm always alone
I travel a lot and am often by myself

You look even better in the daylight
I think you look great in the morning

I wouldn't trade last night
I wouldn't give up our night together

But could you gimme a sunrise?
But I would really appreciate some more time together

I've got a porch with a swing made for two
I have a porch with a two-person swing

Coffee a' brewing and wide open views
I can make coffee and enjoy the beautiful scenery around us

Two ponies waiting on their morning ride
We can go for a morning horse ride together

I'm wore out and lonesome
I'm exhausted and lonely

Singing these songs
Playing my music

But Just For A Moment
But for just a moment

I'm where I belong
I feel like I'm where I'm meant to be

A just a little bit more of your time
Just a bit more time from you would mean so much

Just Until Sunrise
Just until the sun comes up
