Top of the Morning

It's the top of the morning
When hope still runs high
For the sun to be shining
With not a cloud in the sky.

It's the top of the morning
Another new day
With the hope that good things
Will start coming your way.

It's the top of the morning
And as night turns to day
The mist on the meadow
Starts drifting away.

For what is the morning
If not the rebirth
Of goodwill to all
And peace on this earth.

It's the top of the morning
The best time of day
It's time to be thankful
God made it this way.
