Sunday Morning
Daniel Boone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sunday mornin', praise the dawnin'
It's just a restless feelin', by my side
Early dawnin', Sunday mornin'
It's just the wasted years so close behind

Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you, who will call
It's nothin' at all

Sunday mornin' and I'm fallin'
I've got a feelin', I don't want to know
Early dawnin', Sunday mornin'
(Early dawnin')
It's all the streets you crossed, not so long ago

Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you, who will call
It's nothin' at all

Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you, who will call
It's nothin' at all

Sunday mornin'
Sunday mornin'




Sunday mornin'
Sunday mornin'

Grew up listening to this song when it became a worldwide hit few years before finishing high school. I'm 68 now reminiscing and truly miss the good old happy times of the 70's.

The 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden years of music. So happy to have been young back then!
