Everybody talks about a new world in the morning
New world in the morning so they say
Now I, myself, don't talk about a new world in the morning
A new world in the morning, that's today

And I can feel a new tomorrow coming on
And I don't know why I have to make a song
Now, everybody talks about a new world in the morning
New world in the morning takes so long

I met a man who had a dream he'd had since he was twenty
I met that man when he was eighty-one
He said too many folks just stand and wait until the morning
Don't they know tomorrow never comes

And he would feel a new tomorrow coming on
And when he'd smile his eyes would twinkle up in thought
Now, everybody talks about a new world in the morning
New world in the morning takes so long
And I can feel a new tomorrow coming on
And I don't know why I have to make a song
Now, everybody talks about a new world in the morning
New world in the morning takes so long
