Verse 1:

A finger's touch upon my lips
It's a morning yearning
Morning yearning
Pull the curtains shut, try to keep it dark
But the Sun is burning
The Sun is burning

(intro x 1)

Verse 2:

The world awakens on the run
And will soon be earning
Soon be earning
With hopes of better days to come
It's a morning yearning
Morning yearning

(intro x 1) Morning yearning

Verse 3:

Another day, another chance to get it right
Must I still be learning
Must I still be learning
Baby crying kept us up all night
With her morning yearning
Her morning yearning

(intro x 1) Morning yearning

Solo (viola + cello)

C  Bb  Am  G 

C  Bb  Am  G

G  G   G   G
(intro x 1)

Verse 4:

Like a summer rose, I'm a victim of the fall
But am soon returning
Soon returning
Your love's the warmest place the sun ever shines
My morning yearning
My morning yearning

(intro x 1) Morning yearning

(fade out)
