Greenhorn dreams of salty seas Of maidens fair and lovely Who beckon and call from emerald walls Of cities far and strange
Greenhorn hears melodies From mountaintops and low valleys Of chimney smoke and Easter's hope And love not lost in vain
I wanna wake up in the morning (Wake up in the morning) Wake and look into your eyes Wake up in the morning Wake and look into your eyes
Before I see the world Under darkening skies Gonna wake up in the morning Wake and look into your eyes
Greenhorn feels the cold winds blow Now he knows it's time to go Now he longs for open roads He longs to leave the pines
And leave he will with a tearful eye But he won't stop to wave goodbye He won't stop to look behind On just what used to be
I wanna wake up in the morning (Wake up in the morning) Wake and look into your eyes Wake up in the morning Wake and look into your eyes
Before I see the world Under darkening skies I wanna wake up in the morning Wake and look into your eyes
Days to years Child to man Lonely fears She understands
Ah, ah, ah
I wanna wake up in the morning (Wake up in the morning) Wake and look into your eyes Wake up in the morning Wake and look into your eyes
Before I see the world Under darkening skies I wanna wake up in the morning Wake and look into your eyes
I wanna wake up in the morning (Wake up in the morning) Wake up in the morning (Wake up in the morning) Wake up in the morning Wake and look into your eyes
