[Sung by Chorus]

[Chorus]
Daylight over the Village Green
Early in the morning
Daylight over the hills and valleys
Heralding the morning
Daylight over the mountains
Daylight on the old Village Green
Daylight over the fields and the factories
Another night has gone away and here comes yet another day

[Verse 1]
See the early morning risers walking 'round with bleary eyes
Worn out housewives grit their teeth ignoring newborn babies' cries
Look at all the busy people this way, that way, everywhere
Biting toast and swallowing tea, 'cause breakfast specials' on the air

[Refrain]
Feel that daylight

[Chorus]
I feel the sunlight on my pillow
And it stops my yawning
I thank God that I'm still around to
See another dawn in
Daylight over the valleys
Daylight lighting up the trees
Daylight over the hillside
Smile a smile and sing a song, another night has been and gone

[Verse 2]
Middle-aged bankers crack their backs and wish they were young and in their teens
Lonely spinsters dream of dating Roger Moore or Steve McQueen
Health fanatics in their attics training for the Empire Games
School boys dream of Captain Scarlet, battle ships and aeroplanes

[Refrain]
Feel that daylight

[Outro]
Daylight
Daylight (On the Village Green)
Daylight (Field and the valleys)
Daylight (Ahh)
