Morning Glory
[Verse 1]
Morning glory
Pretty little flower, always wakin' up before me
In the early morning hours
Never knew till I met you
Had a bloom before the dawn
How long, how long have I been sleepin'?
[Verse 2]
Morning glory
Couldn't stay in bed
Had to get up bright and early
And climb the walls instead
Runnin' wild around the house
Now the house is overrun
How long, how long have I been sleepin'?
[Verse 3]
And the sun is comin' out
It's a new day
And it's better than the one that came before
And it's better than it was before you came
You're the one I wake up for
[Verse 4]
Morning glory
How could I have known that I had grown so world weary
Before you came along with your tender arms
I'd stretch in the trumpet of your mouth
And your eyes are dewy wet
And always on the lookout for the bright side of the world
Been a long time since I seen
How long, how long, how long, how long
How long, how long have I been sleepin'?
