When my mornin' comes around, No one else will be there So I won't have to worry about What I'm supposed to say And I alone will know that I climbed That great big mountain And that's all that will matter When my mornin' comes around When my mornin' comes around, I will look back on this valley At these sidewalks and alleys Where I lingered for so long And this place where I now live Will burn to ash and cinder Like some ghost I won't remember When my mornin' comes around When my mornin' comes around, From a new cup I'll be drinking And for once I won't be thinking That there's something wrong with me And I'll wake up and find That my faults have been forgiven And that's when I'll start living When my mornin' comes around
