Every mornin’ many late night lovers
Wake up to become early mornin’ strangers
Things always look different in the light of day
Every mornin’ many late night lovers
Just silently stare, seein’ all the changes
It’s hard to make small talk
When there’s nothin’ to say

Early mornin’ strangers
Lookin’ at each other
That is all we are to one another
Early mornin’ strangers
Who wake up to discover
It’s just no good without love
To live without love is no life at all
Somewhere baby
There’s got to be more

Somewhere baby there’s a life worth livin’
Where nobody takes more than they are givin’
Where love is forever
Not just for a day

Early mornin’ strangers
Lookin’ at each other
That is all we are to one another
Early mornin’ strangers
Who wake up to discover
It’s just no good without love
To live without love is no life at all

Bye bye baby
I hope you find your love
And I hope I find mine
I hope you find your love
And I hope I find mine
