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

So what's a man like me supposed to do
When all I want is just to make love to you?

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

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

You turn away from what you feel inside
You can't forget all your foolish pride

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

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

Don't turn away from what you feel inside
You should try to forget about all your foolish pride

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

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

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band’s commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
