My lady of the morning -
sings a melody of dawn.
She came without a warning,
now the chill of night is gone.
Her smile can slay the darkness
and her music woos the sun...
And he will rise to bring the day
to burn away the clouds
that turn my eyes away
from the sun.
I close my eyes, she sings
and melts the nighttime snows
that chilled my heart; she brings
the dawn.
My lady of the springtime -
all the flowers know her name.
Songbirds and the waterfalls
with glorious sounds proclaim
that winter lost the battle,
this old heart is not the same...
And she will rise to bring the day,
to burn away the clouds
that turn my eyes away
from the sun.
I close my eyes, she sings
and melts the deadly snows
that chilled my heart; she brings
the dawn.
My lady of the evening -
cheek to cheek our dance is slow.
The stars have lost their brilliance
and the moon, her radiant glow.
One light alone can warm the night,
the love we two may know...
And we will rise to bring the day,
to burn away the clouds
that turn my eyes away
from the sun.
I close my eyes, she sings
and melts the deadly snows
that chilled my heart; she brings
the dawn.
My lady of the morning...
