To the Morning

About To the Morning

"To the Morning" is a song written and performed by Dan Fogelberg, with strings arranged by Glenn Spreen. It is the first song on Side 1 of his debut album, Home Free. It is about waking up every day and knowing that it's going to be a new day, regardless of anything else, no matter what happens in life. (It's going to be a day/There's really no way to say no to the morning) Musically, it is built around piano, with emphasis placed on Fogelberg's vocals while he is singing and the piano or strings during instrumental sections. The song is peculiar in his canon for featuring no guitar. Though the track length is listed as 6:34 on the CD issue of the album, the length is actually 6:11. The song has been covered by Lani Hall on her 1979 album Double or Nothing. more »

Watching the sun
Watching it come
Watching it come up over the rooftops

Cloudy and warm
Maybe a storm
You can never quite tell
From the morning

And it's going to be a day
There is really no way to say no
To the morning

Yes it's going to be a day
There is really nothing left to
Say but
Come on morning

Waiting for mail
Maybe a tail
From an old friend
Or even a lover

Sometimes there's none
But we have fun
Thinking of all who might
Have written

And maybe there are seasons
And maybe they change
And maybe to love is not so strange

The sounds of the day
They hurry away
Now they are gone until tomorrow

When day will break
And you will wake
And you will rake your hands
Across your eyes
And realize

That it's going to be a day
There is really no way to say no
To the morning

Yes it's going to be a day
There is really nothing left to say but
Come on morning
