Good Morning John

(Kris Kristofferson)



Good morning John

Ain't it great to see your future shining brighter

Than the naked light of day?

You made it John

But I confess there was a time or two

I thought that you might let it slip away.



I love you John

In the cold and holy darkness

You were always shinin' brighter than a star

God bless you John

For the love and joy you've given

And the livin' inspiration that you are.



You scared me John

'Cause you crossed so many borders

Into danger with a price upon your head

They got you John

And it hurt to see so many friends

Who ran along beside you lyin' dead.



I know you John

There ain't nothing you can't handle out there

Ain't nothing bigger than your heart

Keep shinin' John

For you owe it to the others

And the dark and holy wonder that you are.



Hang in there John

It's a rocky road to glory

But the straighest and the strongest will survive

Keep smilin' John

We won't make it there tomorrow

But today let's say we're lucky we're alive.



I'll see you John

Though the best of good intentions

Have a way of gettin' scattered by the wind

I'm leavin' John

You can lose your mind and mem'ry

But you ain't gonna lose me as your friend.



Good morning John...
