I O I I I I I I O I O.
I O I I I I I I O I O.
I O I I I I I I O I O.
I O I I I I I I O I O.
You know I love getting up in the morning
when the sun first strikes the trees.
All the morning birds that sing above
still bring back memories
of a girl who stood beside me
when the rights I did were wrong,
but she went back down the river
just when I thought I could be strong,
when I thought I could be strong, so I sing...
I O I I I I I I O I O.
I O I I I I I I O I O.
She never told me why she left me
but the letter say goodbye.
Now my mornings are for wondering
and my nights to reason why
why a stranger comes to steal the love
of a girl I had to hold.
But she went back down the river
just when I thought I could be strong,
when I thought I could be strong, so I sing
I O I I I I I I O I O.
I sing, I O I I I I I I O I O.
I sing, I O I I I I I I O I O.
I O I I I I I I O I O.
I O I I I I I I O I O....
