I Get Up In The Morning
I get up in the morning
A new day begins
I go the mirror
And shave my face again
The years show my age
But my eyes still shine
I think of my lady
I’m so glad she’s still mine
I go to my workplace
And I do my thing
I listen to Pandora
And I start to sing
The day passes quickly
My tasks all complete
I drive to the restaurant
And order tea that’s sweet
The evening meal is fine
As fine as fine can be
And my desert
Is something for all to see
I return to my house
Now the day is done
I sit on the porch
And watch the setting sun
The day is now over
And I go to bed
I say my prayers
And meditate on Scripture in my head
I pray that my dreams
Have me thinking of you
And in my slumber
My dreams come true
I get up in the morning
A new day begins
I go to the mirror
And shave my face again.
