Through the long dark walk of the night where it's cold and full of fright.
I walked toward home, all alone, and shivered without the comfort of light.
My lonely heart lay cold in my chest, my tired feet longed for a rest.
A light did appear that warmed away the fear, it was morning in its splendored best.

You're dawning on me, you're dawning on me, you are the sun.
Dawning on me, you are the one.
The one I've looked for to set my heart free.
You are the sun, you're dawning on me.

I stopped and stood and watched you rise, your golden beauty filled my eyes.
Looking up at you, my heart flew to your shining space in the skies.

You're dawning on me, you're dawning on me, you are the sun.
Dawning on me, you are the one.
The one I've looked for to set my heart free.
You are the sun, you're dawning on me.

Prior to you, all that I knew, felt unfriendly, strange, and brusque.
When I went walking at night, the best that I'd sight was the dark grey at dusk.

And now each day I know you're mine, when I write to you I know every line.
Your light from above, released my love to live in your bright sunshine.

You're dawning on me, you're dawning on me, you are the sun.
Dawning on me, you are the one.
The one I've looked for to set my heart free.
You are the sun, you're dawning on me.
