Early in the morning Darling, you say goodbye Early in the morning You looked me right in the eyes And I needed to be strong I stumble and I fall And I wanted to be brave Darling, I made mistakes But I'll be a coward If that's what I am Yes I'll be a coward And maybe someday I'll be a different man Early in the morning Darling, you said goodbye Early in the morning Oh you looked me right in the eyes And I met your gaze And my eyes turned away And this hurt in my chest As I wondered if my heart was broken yet And this swell in my eyes Darling, all I wanted was to cry Early in the morning Darling, you changed my life I'll be a coward If that's what I am Yes I'll be a coward And maybe someday I'll be a different man Yes maybe someday I'll be a different man
