lyrics
I can hear you climbing up those antique stairs
to wake me
But I pretend to be asleep
I won't get up that easily
But you're so persistent
You would always wake me twice
I had always slept in my jeans and a t-shirt
So I could sleep in
But you came in for a third time
And I can feel you by my side
And you had always calmed me
And warmed me when you'd say
Get up, get out of bed
"Rise and shine, my love
You don't want to miss a second
Of the songs the robins sing for you,
Of the sun and it's light
I promise you, it's going to be bright
Just open your eyes, my son
Everything will be alright"
How did I become the pessimist with such an optimistic mentor?
You must see so many different colors while
All of my clothes are earthy-tones
But you're so persuasive
And gave me a change of heart
You put things into perspective
You kept the bad out of my head
So get up and get out of bed
"Rise and shine, my love
You don't want to miss a second
Of the songs the robins sing for you,
Of the sun and it's light
I promise you, it's going to be bright
Just open your eyes, my son
Everything will be alright"
I can see the sky from my bedroom
And it changed me
I wish I didn't know anymore
I miss those mornings, mother
How do I get them back?
What if you have to leave me?
I don't know what I would say
Just tell me it will be okay
"Rise and shine, my love
You don't want to miss a second
Of the songs the robins sing for you,
Of the sun and it's light
I promise you, it's going to be bright
Just open your eyes, my son
Everything will be alright"
"I'm blessed to have you son
I swear I treasured every second
of the times that I've shared with you
We'll grow old and we'll die
But I promise you that I won't leave your side
Just close your eyes my love
Everything will be alright"
