Everybody talks about a new world in the morning
New world in the morning, 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 coming 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 morning 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 tomorrow coming on
And when he'd smile his eyes are twinkled up in thought
Everybody talks about a new world in the morning
New world in the morning never comes
And I can feel a new tomorrow coming 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 morning takes so long
