Fats Domino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I say so long to the rising sun
Then I send my prayers
Then I sit in my rocking chair
Then I rock myself to sleep
Prayin' that I am here to keep
Then I ride the rising sun
Every day, when day's done
I say so long to the rising sun
Then I send my prayers
Then I sit in my rocking chair
Then I rock myself to sleep
Prayin' that I am here to keep
Then I ride the rising sun
Gee ain't I being a lucky one
Fats Domino's "Rising Sun" reflects the singer's daily evening routine as he winds down from the day. After the sun sets and work is finished, he bids farewell to the day and sends up his prayers before settling into his rocking chair. The soothing movement of the chair lulls him to sleep as he prays to be fortunate enough to wake up and experience another day. He expresses his gratitude in the chorus, acknowledging the blessing of being alive to witness and ride another rising sun.
The lyrics touch upon themes of faith, gratitude, and contentment in the simple pleasures of life. Fats Domino's relaxed and carefree style emulates the comforting feeling of sitting in a rocking chair, which adds to the reassuring message of the song. Despite the hardships of life, he remains thankful for each day and is grateful for the opportunity to experience the beauty of the rising sun.

Every day, when day's done
At the end of each day
I say so long to the rising sun
I bid farewell to the sun as it sets
Then I send my prayers
I offer my prayers to the divine
Then I sit in my rocking chair
Then I take a seat on my rocking chair
Then I rock myself to sleep
I gently move back and forth until I fall asleep
Prayin' that I am here to keep
Hoping that I will be able to stay in this world
Then I ride the rising sun
Start a new day with the rising sun
Gee ain't I being a lucky one
I am fortunate to have another day to live
