Lyrics

[MRS. HASTY] 'Twill be a day borrowed from heaven [MRS. HASTY, MRS. LUNNY & PREERS] 'Twill have a sky wonderous blue [ENSEMBLE] 'Twill be a day borrowed from heaven Woke up this morning and somehow I knew [MRS. HASTY] I turned my neck and the crick was gone [PREERS] I heard a dove at the break of dawn [MRS. LUNNY] Slept on my left side and lived the night [ENSEMBLE] How can the weather be other than bright? 'Twill be a joy seven 'til seven Know it for sure, know it for true 'Twill be a day borrowed from heaven Woke up this morning and somehow I knew [MRS. HASTY, spoken] Good morning, Reverend [REVEREND LAPP, spoken] Rain [ENSEMBLE, spoken] Rain? [MRS. HASTY, spoken] I'd thought so [ENSEMBLE, spoken] Rain [REVEREND LAPP] 'Twill be a day glummer than gloomy 'Twill have a sky grayer than smoke [ENSEMBLE] 'Twill be a day glummer than gloomy Knew it this morning the moment I woke [MRS. HASTY] I turned my neck and the crick was there [ENSEMBLE] Oh [PREEBS] I heard a groan on the cellar stair [ENSEMBLE] Oh my [MRS. LUNNY] Dreamed of a pleasure and woke in pain [ENSEMBLE] Oh, how can the weather be other than rain? [GIDEON BRIGGS, spoken] Perhaps we'd best ponder tomorrow [ENSEMBLE, spoken] Tomorrow? [GIDEON BRIGGS] 'Twill be a day borrowed from heaven 'Twill have a sky wonderous blue 'Twill be a day borrowed from heaven Woke up this morning and somehow I knew [ENSEMBLE] 'Twill be a day borrowed from heaven 'Twill have a sky, oh, wonderous blue 'Twill be a day borrowed from heaven Wake up tomorrow and see it come true
