Where the Morning Glories Grow - Dear Nora

I remember

The place where I was born

Where the morning glories twine around

My door at early morn

I’d forgotten

How long I’ve been away

But I’d like to wonder back again

Down the lane to yesterday

I want to wake up

In the morning

Where the morning glories grow

Where the sun comes heaping in

Where I’m sleeping and the songbirds say hello

I long to wander in the wild wood

I remember

The schoolhouse on the hill

And I wonder if the kids are

Climbing up there still

I can picture

That dear old swimming pool

And the afternoons that I spent there

When I should have been at school

I want to wake up

In the morning

Where the morning glories grow

Where the sun comes heaping in

Where I’m sleeping and the songbird say hello

I long to wonder in the wild wood

Where those rippling waters grow

And go drifting back to childhood where

Where the morning glories grow

Where the morning glories grow

Where I’m sleeping and the songbird say hello

Where the morning glories grow

I long to wonder in the wild wood
