NEW WORLD IN THE MORNING
(Roger Whittaker 1970)

Roger Whittaker
recorded 1971


Everybody talks about a new world in the mornin',
New world in the mornin', so they say!
I myself don't talk about a new world in the morning,
New world in the morning, that's today!

And I can feel a new tomorrow comin' on,
And I don't know why I have to make a song!
Everybody talks about a new world in the mornin',
New world in the mornin' takes so long!

I met a man who had a dream he had since he was twenty,
I met that man when he was eighty one!
He said too many folks just stand and wait until the morning,
Don't they know tomorrow never comes?

And he would feel a new world coming on,
And when he'd smile his eyes would twinkle up in fun.
Everybody talks about a new world in the mornin',
New world in the morning never comes!

And I can feel a new tomorrow comin' on,
And I don't know why I have to make a song!
Everybody talks about a new world in the morning,
New world in the mornin' takes so long!
