Light Of A Clear Blue Morning

Light Of A Clear Blue Morning
Written & Performed By Dolly Parton

It's been a long dark night
And I've been a waitin' for the morning
It's been a long hard fight
But I see a brand new day a dawning
I've been looking for the sunshine
'Cause I ain't seen it in so long
But everything's gonna work out just fine
Everything's gonna be all right
That's been all wrong

'Cause I can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of a brand new day
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay

It's been a long long time Since I've known the taste of freedom
And those clinging vines That had me bound,
well I don't need 'em '
Cause I am strong and I can prove it
And I got my dreams to see me through
It's just a mountain, I can move it
And with faith enough there's nothing I can't do

And I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And I can see the light of brand new day
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And everything's gonna be all right It's gonna be okay

I can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of a brand new day
Yes I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay

'Cause I can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
Yes I can see the light of a clear blue morning
Everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay I can see the light
I can see the light
It's gonna be all right
It's gonna be all right

I remember the first time I heard this song; a few years ago....
It still give me feelings of encouragement.
It gives me hope. It can restore my faith at times.
I know that times can look pretty bleak sometimes; but then it's such a wonderful feeling when things start looking up!
Dolly gives it her all and it truly is a magical song.
On a random note I read somewhere that she wrote this and I Will Always Love You on the same day. That surely was a magical day for her!!

  1. This has always been (hands down) my favorite Dolly Parton ditty. I first became obsessed with Dolly in 3rd grade when I called in sick from school to watch 9 to 5 on TBS. I've seen her several times in concert and she is SO down to earth and real. This song has helped me through many ups and downs in life (including my recent & overly-dramatic breakup). Good choice! Love it ;-)
