Oh, my darling, when you wake up
I will surely be smiling
Just to see you on the wagon
With your baby blue eyes shining

There'll be birds outside your window
Strutting and a-singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Baby's waking up

On that bright and wondrous morning
You will finally understand this
How it feels to love a woman
When you've grown into a man

When you face the lonely mirror
And the truths become your friend
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Baby's waking up

Baby's waking from a bad dream
He's gonna let somebody in
And the trouble that he's carrying
He's gonna let it go
Oh, how it feels good
To work it out
Baby's waking from a bad dream
He's gonna let somebody in
And the trouble that he's carrying
He's gonna let it go
Oh, how it feels good
To work it out

Oh, my darling, when you wake up
I will cross the oceans wide
Just to be your loving witness
To forgiveness deep inside

Until then I won't be staying
But I'm hoping and I'm praying
That some morning you'll be singing
Baby's waking up
Baby's waking up
