Everybody talks about a new world in the morning
A new world in the morning so they say
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
Everybody talks a bout a new world in the morning
New world in the morning takes so long.

I met a man who had a dream he had since he was twenty
I met that man when he was eighty-one
He said too many folks just stand and wait up till 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 fun
Everybody talks about a new world in the morning
New world in the morning never comes...
