about
Mornings happen to all of us. Some enjoy them. Some don't. I think many will agree that catching a quick nap is welcome regardless of the light outside. This song is for all of us who need that extra bit pretty much every day.
I chose to draw a napping cat for this one, as the song itself was inspired by our cat sleeping by a window one morning as we were hurriedly getting ready for work. To say I was jealous is an understatement.
lyrics
The sun softly whispers
Through the windows
While you sleep
I watch as you smile in its glow
It’s ok
Never fear
When you wake up
I’ll be here
There’s so much I want you to know
Close your eyes
Rest your mind
Leave all worries far behind
When you wake
The world is waiting for you
So dream on
My sweet dreamer
‘til the sun rise and shine
We’ll have so much fun, darling mine
