    In the Morning

    In the morning, When the sunlight’s still at bay – There’s a hush, And I clearly hear you say That you love me… And you’ll make my dreams come true. In the morning, Yes, I love this time with you. As the sun Begins to show its face – I awaken, Being held within your grace… You still love me……
