When the morning comes lyrics

I´ll tell her when the morning comes

but leave her all the wonder

tell her of those city lights

whose spell she's under

my words will all sound hollow

and too old for her heart to follow

I´ll tell her of a girl I knew

no names or ages

then as mothers often do

I´ll start to turn back pages

and let her know I see her

but never try to be her

Fight back tears

swallow fears and

be happy that she

is so thrilled by all she sees

and remembering how it feels

I´ll tell her when the morning comes

but now she's sleeping

I´ll just hold her close and guard

the secrets she needs keeping

I follow her in sorrow

into a world I can´t borrow...
