VERSE
Daytime
Cat Stevens
in the daytime time for celebration
no use looking down if it's over here
it's a world a new creation
and the golden light of the morning
makes it easy to comb your hair
and the love of a child
it's the time of the year
in the daytime you can move a mountain
with a blink of your eye
now it's over here now it's over there
it's a world with no complications
and the curtains on the window
start blowing like your hair
and the love that i feel
cause it's the time of the year
mysterious moon found me crying in the dark
heard my footsteps on the stairs
mysterious moon found me crying
but the sun dried my tears
showed he cares
in the daytime time for celebration
no use looking down children open your eyes
it's a world a whole nation
now the white boats have landed
and the innocent are here
so dream for the child
