I Give You the Morning
Embracing Dawn's Promise: A Poetic Serenade of Love's Awakening
Lyrics
Ever again the morning creeps across your shoulder
Describing the gradual arrival of morning light on a person's shoulder.
Through the frosted window pane the sun grows bolder
The sun becomes more prominent through a frosted window pane.
Your hair flows down your pillow, you're still sleeping.
Observing the person still asleep with hair flowing down the pillow.
I think I'll wake you now and hold you
Expressing the desire to wake the person and hold them.
Tell you again the things I told you
Planning to reiterate affectionate words previously spoken.
Behold I give you the morning hm,
Declaring the gift of the morning.
I give you the day
Extending the gift to the entire day.
Through the waving curtain wall the sun is streaming
Describing sunlight streaming through a waving curtain wall.
Far behind your flickering eyelids you're still dreaming
Noting that, behind closed eyelids, the person is still dreaming.
You're dreaming of the good times and you're smiling
The person is dreaming of happy times and smiling.
I think I'll wake you now and hold you
Expressing the intention to wake the person and hold them again.
Tell you again the things I told you
Planning to repeat previously shared sentiments.
Behold I give you the morning hm,
Reaffirming the gift of the morning.
I give you the day
Extending the gift to encompass the entire day.
Close beneath our window still the Earth is humming
Noticing the Earth humming close beneath the window.
Like an eager Christmas child the day is coming
Comparing the day's arrival to an eager Christmas child.
Listen to the morning song it's singing.
Encouraging the listener to listen to the morning song.
I think I'll wake you now and hold you
Expressing the desire to wake the person and hold them once more.
Tell you again the things I told you
Planning to repeat expressions of affection.
Behold I give you the morning hm,
Reiterating the gift of the morning.
I give you the day
Extending the gift to cover the entire day.
Like an antique ballroom fan your eyelids flutter
Comparing the person's eyelids to an antique ballroom fan.
Sunlight streams across your eyes through open shutter
Describing sunlight streaming through the eyes via an open shutter.
Now I think you're ready for the journey.
Suggesting that the person is now ready for the journey ahead.
I think I'll wake you now and hold you
Expressing the intention to wake the person and hold them again.
Tell you again the things I told you
Planning to repeat previously shared sentiments.
Behold I give you the morning hm,
Reaffirming the gift of the morning.
I give you the day
Extending the gift to encompass the entire day.
