Lyrics
You all have had your nights out
And hung around cafes
Until they’ve put the lights out
And sent you on your ways
You walk into the morning
The air is damp and cool
You know that you’re a fool
There’s no one else to blame
You are sick of the game
‘Til all at once the sky is brightened
With a soft, pale flame
The dark of the night is fading
A pink glow invading the gray
It is day!
Refrain:
When you see the sun about to rise
Then you know the hope of morning skies
And a new day’s laughter comes following after
A night of downhearted sighs
Maybe you will meet your love today
Maybe you will know her right away
By a light within her eyes
Shining like a sun about to rise
