Well there you stand

A figure at my door

And shadows fall

On those that are no more

And each time I love and take the fall

Then like the sun I rise above it all



In the morning light

In the morning light

Yes now's the time

The time I shed my tears

And now's the time

The time I know my fears

Now's the time

The time I feel the years

But come on in

The wind is on your heels



In the morning light

In the morning light

Let us now lay down the fight

Let us now make all things right

At the closing of the night

In the morning light

In the morning light

In the morning light



My room is small

The curtains are of gold

And down below

The Paris streets are cold

Here in my room I've loved a thousand times

Well, seriously, I've sung a thousand rhymes



In the morning light

In the morning light

Let us now lay down the fight

Let us now make all things right

Standing at the edge of night

In the morning light

In the morning light

In the morning light
