I wake very early you know
always before the light of dawn
I sit by the window
watching for the near morning

Birds are singing
they chatter blissfully for a new day
I will love this world
work hard with little or no play

Nighttime has left her veil on the garden chair
as she retreats from daylights bidding
I wish for nights forever
but who am I kidding

So I watch by the window
for a new day to be born
with joy and sadness in my heart
waiting for dawn
