Morning Light
Language: English 
Doem daa doem daa daa doe waa
Sun's coming up, a brand new day
a glorious dawn is on its way
and golden dreams
they gently fade away

My eyes still closed but clear I see
this night with you was meant to be
one look at you,
now all is new to me

And in the morning light
the world is magic
lying in your embrace
and in the morning light
you’re all that matters,
close to me that’s where you'll be,
awaking in sweet delight

Whispering softly in my ear
the sweetest words I long to hear
you smile at me
and all worries disappear

Love just took me by surprise
showed me a trace of paradise
and now your heart's so close
it's melting into mine

And in the morning light
the world is magic
lying in your embrace
and in the morning light
you’re all that matters,
close to me that’s where you'll be,
awaking in sweet delight

And in the morning light
the world is magic
lying in your embrace
and in the morning light
a new life's dawning
close to me that’s where you'll be,
after an endless night
together in the morning light
