A Morning Song

Love of mine, what gift of mine
Shall I give to you this dawn?
A morning song?
But mornings don’t last so long
The sun will rise behind those eyes
And brighten a darkened day
But like a rose
This song will fade away
Fleeting as it is, here we’ll stay
On and on, we’ll sing a morning song
A gift, a tune, never staying long
Friend of mine the bells do chime
To mark a brand new day
A melody to get you on your way
A gift like this is so easily missed
No name to its tune
Shining bright and leaving us too soon
Turning days to gold and months to June
On and on, we’ll sing a morning song
A gift, a tune, never staying long
