Daylight Lyrics

Daylight over the velvet green
Right into morning
Daylight over the hilltop valley
Where we′ll end the morning
Daylight over the mountains
Daylight over the village green
Daylight over the fields and the factories
Another night has gone away
And here comes yet another day

See the early morning risers walking 'round with bleary eyes
Worn out housewives through their teeth ignoring newborn babies′ cries
Look at all the busy people this way, that way, every way
Biting toast and swallowing tea 'cause breakfast special's on the air

Daylight, daylight

I feel the sunlight on my pillow
And it stops my yawning
I thank God that I′m still around to
See another dawning
Daylight over the valley
Daylight lighting up the trees
Daylight over the hillside

Smile a smile and sing a song
Another night has been and gone

Middle-aged bankers crack their backs and
Wish they were young and in their teens
Lonely spinsters dream of dating Roger Moore or Steve McQueen
Health fanatics in their attics training for the Empire Games
Schoolboys dream of Captain Scarlet, battleships and aeroplanes

Daylight, daylight

Daylight
Daylight over the village green
Daylight over the fields and the valleys
Daylight
