Oh beautiful morning
it's been a while since you last
appeared near my bed
was there anybody else who needed you badly
who kept you away and who made you forget
was there anybody more worthy
of your kindness
was there anybody more troubled than I

Oh beautiful morning
I'm glad that you came by

Oh beautiful morning
from the break of day
till the hour of noon
with the calyses open wide and
the crickets playing their tune
when the fondling beams glide
through the chinks into my darkened room
when the eastern light glitters upon
the drops of dew
which color green the pastures,
make them shine

Oh beautiful morning
you can wake me anytime
