Nat "King" Cole — Morning Star

[Verse 1] As a child I asked my mother "Is there a morning star?" I was answered by my mother "Yes, there's a morning star" Just before the dawn she whispered "A light will appear above" And this light that greets the sunrise This is the star of love [Chorus] For this is the morning star That shines above Yes, this is the morning star This is the star of love [Verse 2] And then I asked my mother "Will I see the morning star?" I was answered by my mother "You will see the morning star" It gleamed for just one moment One moment in the skies Then it shined forever after Deep in a mother's eyes [Outro] And that's when I learned How wise all mother's are For there in my mother's eyes I saw the morning star The lovelight in her eyes Shining bright like a morning star
