Early Bird

   (Abigayle - 1981)  

                        I woke up this morning

                        too early to rise....

                        I looked at the clock,

                        and again closed my eyes.

                        Too late to undo

                        what AMa Nature@ has done...

                        I lie here awake now,

                        and wait for the sun!

                        The silence of slumber

                        surrounds now my bed,

                        while thoughts of tomorrow

                        whirl round= in my head.

                        How long till the morning?

                        How long till I rise?

                        How long till the sunshine

                        will lighten the skies?

                        Then as I lie thinking....

                                             AI=ve slept not enough",

                        the morning sneaks in

                        and it=s time to get up!
