I Like The Sunrise
Duke Ellington
I like the sunrise
Cause it brings a new day
I like a new day
It brings new hope, they say
I like the sunrise
Blazing in the new sky
Nighttime is weary
Oh, and so am I
Every evening I wish upon a star
That my brand new bright tomorrow isn't very far
When that heavy blue curtain of the night
Is raised up high, way out of sight;
I like the sunrise
So heavenly to see
I like the sunrise
I hope it likes poor me
