I’ll Be Here In The Morning.

Lyrics: The Late American singer/songwriter John Townes Van Zandt (1944–1997).
Vocals: The Late American country music singer/songwriter Don Williams (1939–2017).

I’ll Be Here In The Morning.

There’s no stronger wind than,
The one that blows,
Down a lonesome railroad line.
No prettier sight than looking back,
On a town you left behind.
There is nothing that’s as real,
As a love that’s in my mind.
Close your eyes I’ll be here in the morning.
Close your eyes I’ll be here for a while.
There’s lots of things along the road,
I’d surely like to see.
I’d like to lean into the wind,
And tell myself I’m free.
But your softest whispers louder,
Than the highways call to me.
Close your eyes I’ll be here in the morning.
Close your eyes I’ll be here for a while.
All the mountains and the rivers,
And the valleys can’t compare,
To your blue lit dancing eyes,
And yellow shining hair.
I could never hit the open road,
And leave you laying there.
Close your eyes I’ll be here in the morning.
Close your eyes I’ll be here for a while.
Lay your head back easy, love,
And close your crying eyes,
I’ll be laying here beside you,
When the sun comes on the rise.
I’ll stay as long as the cuckoo wails,
And the lonesome blue-jay cries.
Close your eyes I’ll be here in the morning.
Close your eyes I’ll be here for a while.
Close your eyes I’ll be here in the morning.
Close your eyes I’ll be here for a while.
