Ask Me in the Morning

by mikangel

Ask Me in the Morning

As I get out of my cozy bed to start another weepy wintry day
Put my feet on the cold floor to set my feeling awaken
Dress to go to work to a job I really don’t mind going to ‘cause I really like to eat
I ask myself, as I dress myself so slowly
“Is it really worth all of this?”
Ask me in the morning.

As I get into my auto with my radio playing my favorite songs,
Traffic back up as far as the eye can see
The news is nothing but bad, horns are honking ceaselessly
I ask myself, as I have nothing else to do but think,
“Isn’t there a better way to get the most out of life?”
Ask me in the morning.

I work all day, with it’s hum-drum and it’s noise
The air so hot the lungs ask for reprieve.
My hands hurt from the repetition, my feet from standing
I ask myself, as my boss screams out, like my muscles are,
“Isn’t there a better way to make a living?”
Ask me in the morning.

Then when I get home in the evening, and I see your smiling face
That tells me that it’s me you’re glad to see
Your hair reflects the lamplight and your eyes a all aglow
I ask myself, “ How can I question the things I do,
And the ways I have to do them, when before me is surely an angel on this earth?”
Ask me in the morning

As she puts her arms around me and I feel the love around her
My head starts to spin as I realize how lucky I am.
All the rest of the day is now just a memory, all else is forgotten.
I ask myself, “Can I ever start to show her just what she means to me?”
Ask me in….no need to ask, I know, right now
No I can’t, but I am going to try, starting right now.

If you want to know how that went,
Ask me in the morning.
