Lyrics

I, O, I-I-I-I-I, I, O, I, O
I, O, I-I-I-I-I, I, O, I, O
I, O, I-I-I-I-I, I, O, I, O
I, O, I-I-I-I-I, I, O, I, O

You know I love getting up in the morning when the sun first strikes the trees (I)
All the morning birds that sing above still bring back memories
Of a girl who stood beside me when the rights I did were wrong (I)

But she went back down the river just when I thought I could be strong
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing

I, O, I-I-I-I-I, I, O, I, O
I, O, I-I-I-I-I, I, O, I, O

She never told me why she left me, but the letter said goodbye (I)
Now my mornings are for wondering and my nights to reason why
Why a stranger comes to steal the love of a girl I had to hold (I)

But she went back down the river just when I thought I could be strong
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing

I, O, I-I-I-I-I, I, O, I, O
I sing
I, O, I-I-I-I-I, I, O, I, O
I sing
I, O, I-I-I-I-I, I, O, I, O
I, O, I-I-I-I-I, I, O, I, O

I, O, I-I-I-I-I, I, O, I, O (ha, ha-ha-ha)
I, O, I-I-I-I-I, I, O, I, O (ha, ha-ha-ha)
I, O, I-I-I-I-I, I, O, I, O (ha, ha-ha-ha)
