There may be times in my day when I feel down
And I may walk around like a floppy old hound
There are people in my life we don't get along
But I know a time when nothin' goes wrong
And I'm always up when I get up in the morning
I'm always up at the end of the night
The morning smiles it's sun on me
I look over and it's you I see
And I'm always up when I get up in the morning
I'm up in the morning
My life may get hard on a certain week
And the people that I work with we may not speak
I might get drunk and stay out all night
Cause in the morning I know you won't be up tight
