For the love of Night and Day
Morning loved tomorrow
Waking up with sunshine
But evening loved sorrow
And a full cup of wine
The bright of the morning
Found your hand in mine
But evening was lonely
For things left behind
Evening was lonely
For things left behind
The sun loved a dark girl
And she was so sweet
He chased her around the world
But never did meet
His true love till sunrise
He kissed her at dawn
Then she would be gone as
She left him alone
She would be gone as
She left him alone
Sweeter than chocolate;
And dark as coffee
Was his own true love
And he thought that she
Would gladly surrender
To his loving schemes
But she left him a prisoner
Of darkness and dreams
She left him a prisoner
Of darkness and dreams
Morning came, tomorrow
Woke up with sunshine
But evening found sorrow
In a full cup of wine
The birds would sing wishing
Their best to the dawn
But she gave him two kisses
And then she was gone
She gave him two kisses
And then she was gone
The night is a wandering
Harlot that cheats
Though her sins are scarlet
She still seems so sweet
To the sun as he kisses
Her soft lips at dawn
And each night she misses
His warmth and his song
Each night she misses
His warmth and his song
Don\'t cry for the morning
With eyes full of rain
But do heed this warning
From sorrow and pain
When you hear birds singing
At the breaking of dawn
His true love is clinging
With tears of her own
His true love is clinging
With tears of her own
Don\'t seek in the darkness
To err find a wife
Or you will be sorry
The rest of your life
Treasure your sunshine
At the break of day
When morning is broken
As night slips away
Morning is broken
As she slips away
Remember this story
As long as you live
Offer to glory
What glory may give
But don\'t seek the darkness
To drink of her wine
Or you will find sorrow
Instead of sunshine
You will find sorrow
Instead of sunshine
