In the morning
In the morning
In the morning light

I'm gonna see it
Gonna see it
Gonna see it right
Yeah in the morning
Yeah in the morning
I'm gonna see it right

In the middle
In the middle
In the middle of night

Toss and turn
Toss and turn
Keep switching on the light

Yeah in the morning
Yeah in the morning
I'm gonna see it

Again and again and
Again and again and again
I wake up feeling lonely

In the middle of a dream
I wonder if I'm ever
Gonna to make it to the end

The end the end the end the end
And now and then I see you
In the corner of a bar

Reflected in a mirror with a stranger in a car
I promise that I'll leave you
If you tell me where you are

You are you are you are the air
And yeah in the morning
Yeah in the morning





I'm gonna see it right

This song, with Cooper's speech to Charlotte just pulls my heartstrings. If that ever makes sense.

I was also introduced to this song by, "Private Practice". I INSTANTLY fell in love with it the first time I heard it!

@Melcolloien

@audem5828

The scene between Cooper and Charlotte, and then when she says : "It's number 2."

@loveinspired7

Aude M YEP!!! That was a POWERFUL scene!

@justforthehellofit23

I absolutely love this song and the way his accent comes through on certain points only serves to enhance it. Fran Healy has an awesome ability to make the song and the music behind him very powerful without destroying or overpowering it.
