Morning Holds A Star
Baby Dee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For love's not choking on her song
There must be some mistake
When robins wake a winter day
There must be some mistake
Your smile
The horizon of my heart
To stammer out a day
Like a baby first time talking
Here I am
It's me
I'm here
And I'll hold you
As morning holds a star
If morning never held a star before
And I'll hold you
In grateful arms that sing
No more sad songs
No more
No more night skies
I've got a sunrise
An unquiet heart
A quieting hand has stilled
An empty cradle filled
No more sad songs
No more sad songs, no more
No more night skies, I've got a sunrise
A sunrise
A sunrise
I've got a sunrise
The song "Morning Holds A Star" by Baby Dee, despite having a somewhat melancholic melody, is a powerful expression of love, trust and hope. The opening lines convey a sense of confusion and unease - "There must be something wrong // For love's not choking on her song // There must be some mistake // When robins wake a winter day" - suggesting that reality does not match the expected narrative. However, the mood shifts with the next lines, as the singer seems to find solace in his/her lover's smile - "There must be some mistake // Your smile // The horizon of my heart". The language is figurative and poetic, but the message is clear: the simple act of being together and holding each other can make everything seem brighter.
The chorus of the song repeats the promise of holding the loved one like morning holds a star, which implies both tenderness and strength. The metaphor suggests that love can provide a sense of direction, illumination and inspiration. The last lines - "No more sad songs // No more // No more night skies // I've got a sunrise" - reinforce the idea that love can transform the mood and the outlook for the better. The specific image of a sunrise signals a new beginning, a fresh start. In this sense, the lyrics can be seen as a declaration of commitment and faith in the power of love to overcome obstacles.
