Nat King Cole Morning Star Lyrics

As a child I asked my mother
"Is there a morning star?"
I was answered by my mother
"Yes, there's a morning star"

Just before the dawn she whispered
"A light will appear above"
And this light that greets the sunrise
This is the star of love And that's when I learned
How wise all mother's are
For there in my mother's eyes
I saw the morning star

For there in my mother's eyes
I saw the morning star

The lovelight in her eyes
Shining bright a morning star
