I Like the Sunrise lyrics

(1947) Duke Ellington I like the sunrise cos it brings a new day I like the new day it brings new hope they say I like the sunrise blazing in the new sky Nighttime's so weary and oh so am I Every evening I wish upon a star That my brand new tomorrow isn't very far When that heavy blue curtain on night Is high in the sky way out of sight I like the sunrise so heavenly to see I like the sunrise and I hope it likes poor me
