cold, cold morning light

morning's come

passions gone

if this love was really strong

i'd want her now

the way i did last night

but deep inside me i'm just dealin'

with the same old guilty feelin'

'cause things sure do look different

in the cold

cold morning light

somewhere a lonely clock strikes four

i'll sneak up and out the door

she'll pretend that she's asleep

till i'm out of sight

i'll go home

an' i'll sneak in

tell a lie about where i've been

'cause things sure do look different

in the cold

cold morning light

that's what makes it all so lonely

is that even when i'm home

i know i'll see her again

tomorrow night

thrill cheats

until we've had our fill

call it love until

we see it for what it is

in the cold

cold morning light

somewhere a lonely clock strikes four

i'll sneak up and out the door

she'll pretend that she's asleep

till i'm out of sight

then i'll go home

i'll sneak in

tell lies 'bout where i've been

things sure do look different

in the cold

cold morning light

things sure do look different

in the cold

cold morning light
