[Verse 1]
G                  G5           C           G
Ever again the morning creeps across your shoulder,

G                          G5       C         G
Through the frosted window pane the sun grows bolder.

G               Em                             D
Your hair flows down your pillow, you're still sleeping. 
[Chorus]
G            Em               C
I think I'll wake you now and hold you, 

          G        Em        C
Tell you again the things I told you; 

   G      Em           C
Behold, I give you the morning. 

  D        G
I give you the day. 
[Verse 2]
G                  G5           C           G
Through the waving curtain wall the sun is streaming.

G                          G5       C         G
Far behind your flickering eyelids you're still dreaming.

G               Em                             D
You're dreaming of the good times and you're smiling.
[Chorus]
G            Em               C
I think I'll wake you now and hold you, 

          G        Em        C
Tell you again the things I told you; 

   G      Em           C
Behold, I give you the morning. 

  D        G
I give you the day. 
[Verse 3]
G                  G5           C           G
Close beneath our windowsill the Earth is humming,

G                          G5       C         G
Like an eager Christmas child the day is coming,

G               Em                             D
Listen to the morning song it's singing.
[Chorus]
G            Em               C
I think I'll wake you now and hold you, 

          G        Em        C
Tell you again the things I told you; 

   G      Em           C
Behold, I give you the morning. 

  D        G
I give you the day. 
[Verse 4]
G                  G5           C           G
Like an antique ballroom fan your eyelids flutter,

G                          G5       C         G
Sunlight streams across your eyes through open shutter.

G               Em                             D
Now I think you're ready for the journey.
[Chorus]
G            Em               C
I think I'll wake you now and hold you, 

          G        Em        C
Tell you again the things I told you; 

   G      Em           C
Behold, I give you the morning. 

  D        G
I give you the day.
