You Are The New Day

I will love you more than me and more than yesterday, if you can but prove to me you are the new day.

Send the sun in time for dawn; let the birds all hail the morning. Love of life will urge me say: you are the new day.

When I lay me down at night knowing we must pay;
Thoughts occur that this night might stay yesterday.

Thoughts that we as humans small could slow worlds and end it all--lie around me where they fall before the new day.

One more day when time is running out for everyone like a breath I knew would come I reach for the new day.

Hope is my philosophy; just needs days in which to be; love of life means hope for me borne on a new day.

You are the new day.


When I was in high school, my then girlfriend was in choir and this is one of the ballads I liked the most! I have a King Singer's rendition of it and sing with it all the time...it makes me feel like a man when I go ahead and hit those low notes with all the manliness in my loins. Yep.

The version sung by "The King Singers" is amazing.
