Someday my heart will awake
Someday the morning will break
Music will open my eyes
Showing the skies golden with rapture

May be this gentle refrain
Someday day will echo again
Bringing my lover's caress
Making my heart say "Yes"

Lazy heart, lazy heart
The leaves of summer fall and die
But stay adrift along the stream
Not even troubled by a dream
The birds are mating
But while you're waiting
Time slips by

Someday my heart will awake
Someday the morning will break
Music will open my eyes
Showing the skies golden with rapture

May be this gentle refrain
Someday day will echo again
Bringing my lover's caress
Making my heart say "Yes"
