Verse 1 - Slow & Soulful)
This is the morning song
That King David used to sing
But because it’s your Saint’s day
It’s to you these notes we bring.
(Chorus - With a steady backbeat)
Wake up, my love, oh wake up
Look, the dawn has just begun
The birds are out there singing
And the moon has chased the sun.
(Bridge - Increasing intensity, bluesy guitar fill)
How beautiful is the morning
As I come to say hello
We all arrive with happiness
To let our blessings flow.
The day that you were born, babe
All the flowers started to bloom
And at the baptismal fountain
The nightingales filled the room.
(Guitar Solo - Clean, melodic, 50s Gibson tone)
(Verse 2 - Deep and resonant)
The dawn is breaking steady
The light has found its way
Rise up, rise up this morning
And see the break of day.
(Outro - Slowing down, heavy on the emotion)
If I could reach the heavens
And pull down every star
I’d show you just how much I love
Exactly who you are.
With jasmine and with flowers
I’ll deck your world so sweet
Because it is your special day
I’m singing at your feet.
(Ending: A final, lingering piano chord)
Yeah, I’m singing at your feet...
