Just So Black turns beamy bright Turning on the light Today is gonna be the day You hear somebody say
We need you wide awake
Tiptoe over the floor What are you waiting for So-so and no more That´s all to be sorry for Today is gonna be the day You hear somebody say We need you wide awake You hear the minutes kick and play The order of the day Is hollering your way
The window shade The nursing aide To let it all just work the way From head to toe A shadow grows
Since forever and a day
Quiet moments hum But some do you wrong Today is gonna be the day You hear somebody say We need you wide awake No time for tea or lemonade Someone has set the date We´re only half the way
Drink a toast to the sun To the things that never come To the break of a day That is all I say
