Everybody talks about a new world in the morning
New world in the morning, so they say
I myself don't talk about a new world in the morning
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 about 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 until the morning
Don't they know tomorrow never comes

And he would feel a new tomorrow coming on
And when he smiled his eyes would twinkle up in fun
Everybody talks about a new world in the morning
New world in the morning never comes

And I can feel a new tomorrow coming on
And I don't know why I have to make a song
Everybody talks about a new world in the morning
New world in the morning takes so long
