In The Morning
Don Williams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the sun comes up and it's time to get up in the mornin'
Will you think of me and how it ought a be in the mornin'
Well I don't know why you could say goodbye
And I can't see how you could be anywhere but here with me in the mornin'
Where was I when you made your move to go away
Where was I I didn't hear the things I've always heard or always said
Well it's no lie I never thought about it not a day
And I'll tell you why I really thought we always tried to say what should be said
When the sun comes up

Line by Line Meaning

When the sun comes up and it's time to get up in the mornin'
As the day begins and it's time to start the day,


Will you think of me and how it ought a be in the mornin'
Do you ever consider me and the way things used to be in the morning,


Well I don't know why you could say goodbye
I don't understand why you would choose to leave,


And I can't see how you could be anywhere but here with me in the mornin'
I can't imagine you being anywhere else but here with me in the morning,


Where was I when you made your move to go away
I wasn't aware when you made the decision to leave,


Where was I I didn't hear the things I've always heard or always said
I didn't notice the familiar words or actions that were usually present,


Well it's no lie I never thought about it not a day
It's honest, I never stopped to consider it,


And I'll tell you why I really thought we always tried to say what should be said
But here's why - I thought we constantly made an effort to communicate honestly,


When the sun comes up
As the day begins,

There's no stronger wind than the one that blows
Down a lonesome railroad line
No prettier sight than looking back
On a town you left behind
There is nothin' that's as real
As a love that's in my mind
Close your eyes
I'll be here in the morning
Close your eyes
I'll be here for a while
There's lots of things along the road
I'd surely like to see
I'd like to lean into the wind
And tell myself I'm free
But your softest whisper's louder
Than the highways call to me
Close your eyes
I'll be here in the morning
Close your eyes
I'll be here for a while
All the mountains and the rivers
And the valleys can't compare
To your blue lit dancin' eyes
And yellow shining hair
I could never hit the open road
And leave you layin' there
Close your eyes
I'll be here in the morning
Close your eyes
I'll be here for a while
Lay your head back easy, love,
Close your cryin' eyes
I'll be layin' here beside you
When the sun comes on the rise
I'll stay as long as the cuckoo wails
And the lonesome bluejay cries.
Close your eyes
I'll be here in the morning
Close your eyes
I'll be here for a while [x2]

The Gentle Giant just got a little gentler with the notes and it made all his songs better
