Very Early

Early morning... first light dawning.

Time to just lay 'round.

Dreamy traces... sleepy faces.

Time to just lay a-round.

[Through the window]daylight stealing... cozy feeling.

Where is there to go?

Darkness waning... conscious gaining.

Time's a-wasting, I know.

When I try to leave my hideout,

fingers start to ride out,

tug me back like a string.

Covers hide me... love beside me.

Very early.

Restful slumber... that's my number.

Think I'll just lay 'round.

Dozing/waking... sleep's not taking.

Why should I stick a-round?

[In our nest I'm]stretching, yawning... stirring, spawning.

What is there to do?

Shadowed ceiling... lovin' feeling.

Love, so shiny and new.

Pretty silhouette begins to...

clutch her downy pillow.

How my heart wants to sing [fa-la-la].

Love awakens here beside me.

Very early, oh so early, early mornin' thing.
