Early Early Morning
B.B. King Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, early in the morning I wake with the rising sun
Yes, early in the morning I wake with the rising sun
It's my daily motto and the people all calls it fun

Yes, I'm looking for a better future and forgetting about the past
I'm looking for a better future and forgetting about the past
Now I'm so glad that troubles don't always last
Yes, have fun whilst you can ''cause fate's an awful thing




Well, have fun whilst you can ''cause fate's an awful thing
You can't tell what may happen that's the reason I love to sing
