Lyrics
The best part of my day is in the morning.
When I slip into the sheets and feel you breathing.
Just before the break of dawn,
You wrap me in your arms,
And I drift away dreaming.
Before you start the day.
Chorus:
That's when my night shifts.
That's when your heart grips.
That's when my mind slips into your peacefulness.
Workin' hard is worth it, we will never doubt it.
'Cuz holding you I can't resist.
All will be right, (tonight).
After my night shift
Then I wake up and find that you are missin'.
With the smell of coffee brewing in the kitchen.
I realize that you are gone,
But I know it that it won't be long,
'Till I'm back in your arms healing.
Before you start the day.
Chorus
Five nights a week I make it in at any cost.
But tonight is Saturday, thank God I have the whole night off!
Chorus
