new world in the morning

everybody talks about a new world in the morning

a new world in the morning so they say

i myself don't talk about a new world in the morning

a new world in the morning that's today

and i can feel a new tomorrow coming on

and i don't know why i have to make a song

everybody talks a 'bout a new world in the morning

new world in the morning takes so long

i met a man who had a dream he had since he was twenty

i met that man when he was eighty-one

he said too many folks just stand and wait up till the morning

don't they know tomorrow never comes

and he would feel a new tomorrow coming on

and when he'd smile his eyes would twinkle up in fun

everybody talks about a new world in the morning

new world in the morning never comes
