I Like The Sunrise

(1947) duke ellington



I like the sunrise cos it brings a new day

I like the new day it brings new hope they say

I like the sunrise blazing in the new sky

Nighttime's so weary and oh so am i



Every evening i wish upon a star

That my brand new tomorrow isn't very far

When that heavy blue curtain on night

Is high in the sky way out of sight



I like the sunrise so heavenly to see

I like the sunrise and i hope it likes poor me
