Morning Star

Nat King Cole

As a child I asked my mother
Is there a morning star?
I was answered by my mother
Yes there's a morning star

Just before the dawn she whispered
A light will appear above
And this light that greets the sunrise
This is the star of love

For this is the morning star
That shines above
Yes this is the morning star
This is the star of love

And then I asked my mother
Will I see the morning star?
I was answered by my mother
You will see the morning star

It gleams for just one moment
One moment in the skies
Then it shines for ever after
Deep in a mother's eyes

And that's when I learned how wise
All mothers are
For there in my mother's eyes
I saw the morning star

The love light in her eyes
Shining bright like a morning star
