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
