Dawn

Lyrics

[DAISY] Walking home From working late And around the bend— Dawn... You may look grim But you feel just great 'Cause you've got this friend: Dawn... You're both halfway Between yesterday And tomorrow... Not a street that doesn't have a shine Not a sound except the milkman's rattle Not a stream of seven million cattle And the city's mine Yours and mine Dawn!... It's when the moon's gone down But the sun's not up Just before this great big town Becomes a great big buttercup— Your feet are sore You're feeling weird And then thеre it comes— Dawn!... The city's roar May havе disappeared But the city hums... Dawn! Not a street that isn't clean and still— [MILKMAN] Dawn! [DAISY] Not a wall that doesn't gleam and glisten— [STREET CLEANER] Dawn! [DAISY] Not a roof that isn't gold, and listen—! Not a single drill! [DAISY, MILKMAN, STREET CLEANER & COP] What a thrill! Dawn! Dawn! [MILKMAN] And so you're on your own And you do feel frightened Only— [STREET CLEANER] Though you're all alone Somehow you simply don't feel lonely— [DAISY & STREET CLEANER] —When it's Dawn... [COP] When it's half-past four You're half-awake And the town is dead— [DAISY, MILKMAN, STREET CLEANER & COP] Yawn! You think, what more Can a person take? And then overhead— Dawn! [MILKMAN, STREET CLEANER & COP] Calm and quiet though the city seems Dead asleep it's still alive and teeming What with seven million people dreaming Seven million dreams— Of course it gleams! [DAISY] You watch the stars go One by one You see the first sign Of the sun It makes you feel that Done is done And better things Have just begun— It's called [DAISY, MILKMAN, STREET CLEANER & COP] Dawn! [DAISY] It's called [DAISY, MILKMAN, STREET CLEANER & COP] Dawn! [DAISY] It's called Dawn!
