I like the sunrise cos it brings a new day
I like the new day it brings new hope they say
I like the sunrise blazing in the new sky
Nighttime’s so weary and oh so am I
Every evening I wish upon a star
That my brand new tomorrow isn’t very far
When that heavy blue curtain on night
Is high in the sky way out of sight
I like the sunrise so heavenly to see
I like the sunrise and I hope it likes poor me
I like the sunrise ‘cause it brings a new day,
I like a new day, it brings new hope, they say.
I like the sunrise blazing in the new start,
Night time is weary, oh and so am i.
Every evening i wish upon a star
That my brand new bright tomorrow isn’t very far.
When that heavy blue curtain of night is raised up high,
Out of sight, i like the sunrise, oh heavenly day,
I like the sunrise, i hope it lights for me
(full musical interlude)
Every evening i wish upon a star
That my brand new bright tomorrow isn’t very far.
When that heavy blue curtain of night is raised up high,
Way out of sight, i like the sunrise, so heavenly to see,
I like the sunrise, i hope it lights for me.
I hope it lights for me.
