Light of a Clear Blue Morning

About Light of a Clear Blue Morning

"Light of a Clear Blue Morning" is a song written and recorded by American entertainer Dolly Parton. It first appeared on her 1977 New Harvest... First Gathering album, and provided a top twenty country music hit for her as a single. As Parton has told a number of interviewers over the years, the song came out of the pain from her break with longtime musical and business partner Porter Wagoner. Parton left Wagoner's band in 1974, in an effort to aim her career in a more mainstream pop direction; Wagoner responded by taking legal action, and the next couple of years were reportedly painful for both performers. According to the unauthorized 1978 biography, Dolly, by Alanna Nash, "Light of a Clear Blue Morning" was written as Parton felt the figurative clouds lifting, as the fruits of her sacrifices of the previous few years were becoming apparent. Released as a single from New Harvest - First Gathering in February 1977, the song just missed the top ten on the U. S. country charts, peaking at number 11. more »

It's been a long dark night 
And I've been a waitin' for the morning 
It's been a long hard fight 
But I see a brand new day a dawning 
I've been looking for the sunshine 
You know I ain't seen it in so long 
But everything's gonna work out just fine 
And everything's gonna be all right 
That's been all wrong 

'Cause I can see the light of a clear blue morning 
I can see the light of a brand new day 
I can see the light of a clear blue morning 
Oh, and everything's gonna be all right 
It's gonna be okay 

It's been a long long time 
Since I've known the taste of freedom 
And those clinging vines 
That had me bound, well I don't need 'em 
Oh, I've been like a captured eagle, you know an eagle's born to fly
Now that I have won my freedom, like an eagle I am eager for the sky

And I can see the light of a clear blue morning 
I can see the light of brand new day 
I can see the light of a clear blue morning 
Oh, and everything's gonna be all right 
It's gonna be okay 

I can see the light of a clear blue morning 
I can see the light of brand new day 
I can see the light of a clear blue morning 
Ooh, everything's gonna be all right 
Everything's gonna be all right 
Everything's gonna be all right 
It's gonna be okay 

And I can see the light of a clear blue morning 
I can see the light of a brand new day 
I can see the light of a clear blue morning 
Ooh and everything's gonna be all right 
Everything's gonna be all right 
Everything's gonna be all right 
It's gonna be okay 

I can see the light of a clear blue morning 
I can see the light of brand new day 
I can see the light of a clear blue morning 
Everything's gonna be all right 
Everything's gonna be all right 
Everything's gonna be all right 
It's gonna be okay
