I Like The Sunrise

I Like The Sunrise - Duke Ellington

I like the sunrise 'cause it brings a new day

I like the sunrise it brings new hope they say

I like the sunrise blazing in the new start

Night time is weary oh and so am I

Every evening I wish upon a star

That my brand new bright tomorrow isn't very far

When that heavy blue curtain of night is raised up

Way out of sight I like the sunrise so heavenly to see

I like the sunrise I hope it lights for me

Every evening I wish upon a star

That my brand new bright tomorrow isn't very far

When that heavy blue curtain of night is raised up

Way out of sight I like the sunrise so heavenly to see

I like the sunrise

I hope it lights for me
