Lyrics

When The Day Breaks

Oh, when the day breaks in two

And the sun comes swimming through

It's morning and I'm singing

Cos everything's beginning

The skies are blue

Ooh

When the day breaks

And the moon makes its last goodbye

I rise and shine

The world is fine

I'm giddy, I'm pretty

The city is mine
