Sunrise And the new day's breakin' through The morning Of another day without you And as the hours roll by No-one's there to see me cry Except the sunrise The sunrise and you Tired eyes drift across the shore Looking for love and nothing more But as the sea rolls by No-one's there to see me cry Except the sunrise The sunrise and you Sunrise Bless my eyes Catch my soul Make me whole again Sunrise, new day Hear my song I'm tired of fightin' And foolin' around But from now on Till who knows when My sword will be my friend And I'll love you, love you For all of my time
