Another day
 (Sung text for setting by W. Watts)
 Matches base text
Language: English 
A bird outside my window,
As I lay in bed, awake,
Was singing, singing 
as though its heart would break
And I wondered for a moment,
What could the reason be,
So I said, "You saucy songster,
why sing so joyfully?"
Just then I caught the glimmer 
in the mirror on the wall,
of the first faint flush of morning,
And I understood it all! 

Composition:

    Set to music by Wintter Haynes Watts (1884 - 1962), "Another day", published 1909 [ voice and piano ], The John Church Company
