Day Breaks - The Free Design

Soft rays of sunlight

Gently chase the whippoorwill

From my windowsill

Sweeping through the meadow, they move in

Bringing warming light

To kiss the night goodbye

Day breaks, heart aches

Reality sets in again

What might have been

Dreams slip away

Like the song you were singing

Just yesterday, it lies still today

Once fair as a blossom with dew on its petals

Where has the melody gone?

How do we go on with living and laughing

And loving and facing a new breaking dawn?

Candle burns low

Morning mist is rising now

I don’t know how

Sorrow descends

While the spirit rises up again

It never ends

Once fair as a blossom with dew on its petals

Why has the curtain been drawn?

How do we go on with living and laughing

And loving and facing a new breaking dawn?

Soft rays of sunlight

Gently chase the whippoorwill

From my windowsill
