I Like the Sunrise (From "Liberian Suite") Songtext
von Duke Ellington

I like the sunrise
′Cause it brings a new day
I like the sunrise
It brings new hope, they say
I like the sunrise
Blazing in the new sky
Nighttime is weary
Oh, and so am I
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


I like the sunrise
So heavenly to see
I like the sunrise
I hope it likes poor me
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
I like the sunrise
So heavenly to see
I like the sunrise
I hope it likes poor me
