I never thought that I'd be facing you
And all the things we'll never get to do
But lady now I know, I feel the difference too
It's time for me to get along with you
I'm learning fast, there's much that I don't know
I never knew my heart could beat so slow
The heavy hands of love and life are dealt a different blow
But I'll be here, I'll be here, when the morning comes
Father don't you hang your head and cry
One day I'll be a man before I die
Tell me all your secrets, and I promise I will try
And I'll be here, I'll be here, when the morning comes
My shadow's body on the wall
Is bigger than my own
Shows the world,
What I know myself
The darker parts are all of me that's grown
Love of mine, I'll miss you all my days
You changed me for the best in many ways
But you gave me your reasons,
And now there's nothing left to say
But I'll be here, I'll be here, when the morning comes
I'll be here, I'll be here, when the morning comes
It's getting late, the lights are falling low
Just give me one more drink before I go
The road is often lonely, but full of things I know
And I'll be here, I'll be here, when the morning comes
I'll be here, I'll be here, when the morning comes
Oh I'll be here, I'll be here, when the morning comes
I'll be here, I'll be here, when the morning comes.
