I Got The Sun In The Morning

Nancy LaMott


Taking stock 
Of what I have 
And what I haven't
What do I find?
The things 
I got will 
Keep me satisfied
Checking up 
On what I have 
And what I haven't
What do I find?
A healthy balance 
On the credit side

Got no diamond 
Got no pearl
Still I think 
I'm a lucky girl
I got the sun 
In the morning 
And the moon at night

Got no mansion 
Got no yacht
Still I'm happy 
With what I've got
I got the sun 
In the morning 
And the moon at night

Sunshine gives me 
A lovely day
Moonlight gives me 
The Milky Way

Got no checkbooks 
Got no banks
Still I'd like 
To express my thanks
I got the sun 
In the morning 
And the moon at night
And with the sun 
In the morning
And the moon 
In the evening
I'm all right

Got no butler 
Got no maid
Still I think 
I've been overpaid
I got the sun 
In the morning 
And the moon at night
I got the sun 
In the morning 
And the moon at night

Got no silver 
Got no gold
What I got 
Can't be bought or sold
I got the sun 
In the morning 
And the moon at night
I got the sun 
In the morning 
And the moon at night

Sunshine gives me 
A lovely day
Moonlight gives me 
The Milky Way

Got no heirlooms 
For my kin
Made no will 
But when I cash in
I leave the sun 
In the morning 
And the moon at night
And with the sun 
In the morning
And the moon 
In the evening 
They're all right

Got no mansion 
Got no yacht
Still I'm happy 
With what I've got
I got the sun 
In the morning 
And the moon at night

Got no silver 
Got no gold
What I got 
Can't be bought or sold
I got the sun 
In the morning 
And the moon at night

Sunshine gives me 
A lovely day
Moonlight gives me 
The Milky Way

Got no checkbooks 
Got no banks
Still I'd like 
To express my thanks
I got the sun 
In the morning 
And the moon at night
And with the sun 
In the morning
And the moon 
In the evening
I'm all right
