Rise softly, rise gently, waking dawn And let the drowsy sun yawn a while Beside me, my love sleeps in peaceful bliss With crescent eyes and a crescent smile The morning breeze may tease the blooms That wait to unfold with the sun's blush - But softly, blow gently, oh morning breeze Let the wind chimes be still, quiet, hushed
Rest your melodies, singing birds and bees And cease the fluttering of your wings The hum, the drone, the medleys Quiet the rustling and the whispering Why gurgle so loud - river- change your course Flow far away, past the mangroves For how lustily you gush, bubbles and froth Shhshh...love sleeps - eyes closed
But alas - the river stays, making its music The birds from their songs shall never cease And the morning breeze breathes free Tinkling wind chimes, hustling leaves Rise - the sun shall and burst in gold And the world'll be in daylight's warm embrace My love will waken yet I still revel - For sun lights the grace of my love's face
