Words and music by Arlo Guthrie



Oh, in the morning

Feel like the sun

Coming up on daytime

Shine on every one

Coming up on darkness

Warm me in your arms

Let me know another lonely night

Has come and gone



Oh, happy river flowing

Gently unto me

Softly bring me music

Listen to you sing

Swiftly running river flowing

We'll at last be free

Oh, happy waterwheel

Roll gently over me



Oh in the evening

Feel alone at last

All of the things that the daytime brings

Roll gently in the past

There is nothing left to see

Except the stars and moon

To let me know another lonely day

Is coming soon



Oh, in the morning

Feel like the sun

Coming up on daytime

Shine on everyone

Coming up on darkness

Warm me in your arms

Let me know another lonely night

Has come and gone
