    Sunday Morning
    by Jeffry R. Rothrock

    Like most people, any “sleepin’ in” that I might do, would happen on a Saturday morning when the family occasionally hibernates until 7 or so, and it feels wonderful. We are up every weekday before dawn so it feels luxurious to roll over and dip into another dream. In the old days, I was always last in the bathroom on weekdays because my wife and daughter had to leave the house before I did so to keep from getting hurt, I stayed out of their way. Sunday morning, I still get to drift until about 7 but then roll out of bed to get ready for church. I am generally the first up on Sundays. My wife deserves a few extra winks so I tip-toe out of the bedroom to let her cruise. I look forward to Sundays for many reasons but my Sundays have not always been like they are now. That said, a warm, cozy bed on a Sunday morning feels so good that it is hard to climb out on a chilly morning. It is even more challenging when a beautiful lady is still sleeping sweetly. (BIG smile.) Enjoy.

    Sunday Morning words & music c 6/3/1996 by Jeffry R. Rothrock

    Sunday morning, Baby… the sunlight’s drizzling in.
    Why don’t we make like lovers… and pull up the covers?…
    …oh…I don’t know where to begin! (yeoww!)

    (b r e a k)

    You know, it’s beautiful outside, Baby…
    But I believe it’s more beautiful… in!
    …You think my grin can get no wider?
    Well, then…let’s start it all over again !!

    Sunday noon now, Lady! I’ll bet the bees have been buzzin’ around…
    …and the birds are singin’… the church bells, ringin’.
    Woah! I can’t believe what I’ve found!!!

    Well, you know, most o’ my days are sunny!
    …and I’ve made it my business to win.
    And, yet, I know what "luck" is, Honey...
    ...that you are sharing this life that I’m in!

    Sunday evening, Baby!… as the moon sails by overhead.
    Well, there’s no denying… this day went flyin’ by!
    (yawn…) I guess I’m ready for bed! (oh yeah!) : )

    …all day,…and all the night… Can Heaven feel so right?

    I pray, to the Lord, my soul, to keep…
    ... but if this is dreamin’, then let me sleep!…

    Welcome!  

    A good pair of headphones is recommended for the full spatial experience.   Bring 'em if got ’em!
