If the darkness hesitates
For a hundred years or more
I’ll treasure every waking dream of You
Even in this twilight hour
Visions of a brighter shore
Give me hope until the night is through

But when the morning comes
I’ll walk with You
Forever more
Forever new
And when the shadows run
From the morning sun
I’ll understand
When the morning comes
When the morning comes

Now I watch with eyes open wide
As your mystery unfolds
Living for the things that I can keep
No, I will not be seduced
By the world with all her gold
I would gladly leave her while she sleeps

And when the morning comes
I’ll walk with you
Forever more
Forever new
When the shadows run
From the morning sun
I’ll understand
When the morning comes
When the morning comes
