NEW DAY

You are the new day. You are the new day. I will love you more than me and more than yesterday If you can but prove to me: you are the new day. Send the sun in time for dawn; Let the birds all hail the morning. Love of life will urge me say You are the new day. (Lyrics by John David; check out www.kingsingers.com)
