IT'S SO EASY TO SAY GOOD MORNING


Vera Lynn 1944

As sung in the film ‘One Exciting Night’ 1944
Director: Walter Forde
Leads: Vera Lynn / Donald Stewart / Mary Clare



Early to bed, early to rise
Makes you healthy, wealthy, and wise
Now I’m not very wealthy
And I’m not very wise
But here’s one thing that I realize.

It’s so easy to say good morning
Good morning to you
So easy to say good morning
‘Cause look who I say it to.

It’s so easy to say good morning
And I say XXXX you
And oh, how the raindrops scatter
When my day begins with you.

I’d mumble and grumble
When night-time will start
It’s strange how, I’ve changed now
I jump right up with the sun.

For there’s always a chance I’ll meet you
By dawn’s early light
It’s so easy to say good morning
But so hard to say goodnight.

I’d mumble and grumble
When night-time was done
It’s strange how, I’ve changed now
I jump right up with the sun.

For there’s always a chance I’ll meet you
By dawn’s early light
It’s so easy to say good morning
But so hard to say goodnight.
