Duke Ellington
I Like the Sunrise
[Verse 1]
I like the sunrise
'Cause it brings a new day
I like a new day
It brings new hope, they say

[Verse 2]
I like the sunrise
Blazing in the new sky
Nighttime is weary
Oh, and so am I

[Chorus]
Every evening I wish upon a star
That my brand new bright tomorrow isn't very far
When that heavy blue curtain of night
Is raised up high, way out of sight

[Verse 3]
I like the sunrise
So heavenly to see
I like the sunrise
I hope it likes poor me

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I like the sunrise
So heavenly to see
I likе the sunrise
I hope it likеs poor me
