One Morning

One morning when you wake up all a lone what do you see?\nFor walls and for your troubles one less friend awakens thee\nJust because you would rather wake up alone\nDoesn’t mean that another lover’s the worst thing you’ve known\nDid no one ever hold you when you cried when you were small?\nSo now you hold yourself up like a star — outshine us all\nPretty soon pretty face pretty out of touch\nThe kind of thing when you lose it don' t miss it that much,\nNot that much\nCan’t compete with you\nGuess I’ll be complete without you\nOne morning when you wake up wonder what\nWill you do now\nFree from despair you struggle for a cause\nTo now pursue\nNever once did it cross your mind to see\nThat the author of happiness could be sad as me Shed the old disguises — try your new luck on for size\nOne morning when you think you’re all alone\nJust wake me up
