We Can Make the Morning
Elvis Presley · Elvis Now
Looked again and saw that it was me
I feel like a little boy denying
That he fears the night Â’cause he canÂ’t see
Then a larger thought said stop your crying
DonÂ’t be scared to search Â’cause you may find
Fate holds out a candle for your footsteps
Time rolls back the shadows of your mind
ItÂ’s a long, long lonely night
You can make the morning if you try
ItÂ’s a long, long lonely night
Oh, we can make the morning if we try
Girl, we can make the morning you and i
Together, together, together
Loneliness is darknessÂ’ first companion
Spend the night alone and faith may bend
Share it all and see how fear starts fading
Chase away the shadows with a friend
DawnÂ’s elusive light is just beginning
Now the day can push away the night
Dreams can make the sun feel much brighter
Hope creates a foothold for the light
ItÂ’s a long, long lonely night
We can make the morning if we try
ItÂ’s a long, long lonely night
We can make the morning if we try
Girl, we can make the morning you and i, oh
Together
ItÂ’s a long, long lonely night
We can make the morning if we try
ItÂ’s a long, long lonely night
We can make the morning if we try
ItÂ’s a long, long lonely night
We can make the morning if we try
We Can Make the Morning
