Adam Guettel - Daybreak lyrics

[HOMER, spoken] The house was quiet; 'Member, Floyd? We was all snorin' an' sleepin' real sound. (sung) You came atop the hill Floyd Like a monkey jes' a-screechin' and a leapin' [laughs] Ya crazy loon 'Member, Floyd? 'Member how ya' screamed? You hollered somethin' 'bout a cave; In our nightclothes we came a-toddlin' out An' Miss Jane in that ol' sleepin' bonnet Like a duck she was a waddlin'. 'Member, Floyd? 'Member how she looked? We was holdin' hands As you marched us across the field Was a whole mess a' stars that night... As we enter in, The lights of the sky die down, Like still, like cool, like nightfall... We have each other's hands We have what we can picture That's all we need to pa** the time... [FLOYD] Time inside has a way of flowin' on [HOMER] Goin' on a wind [FLOYD] It take itself a dive [HOMER] Time inside kinda' puts me in a mind of When Mama was alive [HOMER & FLOYD] When Mama was alive No one even says a word; We are happy dreamin', we are An' before we know it— Daybreak is on. [HOMER] That's how it's gonna be; That I promise Long as you remember that From nightfall to daybreak From sundown to dawn I'm stayin' here
