Aaah, aaah
Aaah, aaah oooh

Sunrise, and the new day’s breakin’ through
The morning of another day without you
And as the hours roll by
No-one’s there to see me cry
Except the sunrise…
The sunrise and you.

Aaah, aaah
Aaah, aaah oooh

Tired eyes drift across the shore
Looking for love and nothing more
But as the sea rolls by
No-one’s there to see me cry
Except the sunrise…
The sunrise and you.

Sunrise, – bless my eyes,
Catch my soul – make me whole
– Again.

Sunrise, new day, hear my song
I am tired of fightin’ and foolin’ around
But from now till who knows when
My sword will be my pen
And I’ll love you, love ya
For all of my time.

Sunrise, – bless my eyes
Catch my soul and make me whole
– Again.

So sunrise, – bless my eyes
Catch my soul – make me whole
– Again.

Sunrise, – bless my eyes
Catch my soul – make me whole
– Again.
Sunrise.
