In the morning of my life
I ran through the hills and the whippoorwills
Sang their song just for me
And each brand new day
Was a sweet melody
In the morning of my life
We swim in the creek
Playing hide and seek
Like the wind wild and free
And each brand new day
Was a sweet melody
But now the world has grown so old
The songs have been sung
There’s no one left for me to hold’
But all of my memories remain so young
In the twilight of my life
I dream of the hills and whippoorwills
That sang once for me
Day is fading fast
And now at last
The evening is here!
Evening is here!
How I long for one more song
Out of the sweet morning of my life
