SUNRISE
Andre Kostelanetz and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Good morning
You sleepyhead
It's dawning
Stop yawning
Get out of that bed
Say the air is soft as silk
It's time to get the morning milk
Wake up!
Get up!
Look at the grass
Silver in the sun
Heavy with the dew
Look at the buds
You can almost see
How they're breaking through
Look at the birds
Feeding all their young
In the sycamores
But you better get on
With your morning chores
Just take a breath
Of that new-mown hay
And the sugarcane
Looks like tonight
There should be a moon
Down in lovers' lane
There you go daydreaming
When it's time that you obeyed
That sunrise serenade
