Early morning, up at five
Its so good to be alive
The birds are singing
the sky is blue
No more thinking
Not of you
A new day dawns
With sleepy yawns
I start my chores
Some are fun
some a bore
But, when all said and done
I know, i am a lucky one
I have my health, i have my mind
I have a job, i have free time
I have more than so many, i have a bed
And when i sleep there is a roof above my head
I need for nothing in this scheme of life
It would be nice to have a wife
Maybe, one day, she will show herself
And then, no longer, will i feel
Left on the shelf
