Repeat everything but move everything ½ measure
She goes walkin' past my window early in the mornin' Early in the mornin' on the way Some day I'll reach out and touch her early in the mornin' Early in the mornin' one fine day
And I'll give her my love till the day I die Yes, I'll give her my love And the morning glows bright with a newborn light Yes, the morning glows bright
