Overture / A Day Borrowed From Heaven lyrics

[MRS. HASTY]
'Twill be a day borrowed from heaven

[MRS. HASTY, MRS. LUNNY & PREERS]
'Twill have a sky wonderous blue

[ENSEMBLE]
'Twill be a day borrowed from heaven
Woke up this morning and somehow I knew

[MRS. HASTY]
I turned my neck and the crick was gone

[PREERS]
I heard a dove at the break of dawn

[MRS. LUNNY]
Slept on my left side and lived the night

[ENSEMBLE]
How can the weather be other than bright?
'Twill be a joy seven 'til seven
Know it for sure, know it for true
'Twill be a day borrowed from heaven
Woke up this morning and somehow I knew
[MRS. HASTY, spoken]
Good morning, Reverend

[REVEREND LAPP, spoken]
Rain

[ENSEMBLE, spoken]
Rain?

[MRS. HASTY, spoken]
I'd thought so

[ENSEMBLE, spoken]
Rain

[REVEREND LAPP]
'Twill be a day glummer than gloomy
'Twill have a sky grayer than smoke

[ENSEMBLE]
'Twill be a day glummer than gloomy
Knew it this morning the moment I woke

[MRS. HASTY]
I turned my neck and the crick was there
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh

[PREEBS]
I heard a groan on the cellar stair

[ENSEMBLE]
Oh my

[MRS. LUNNY]
Dreamed of a pleasure and woke in pain

[ENSEMBLE]
Oh, how can the weather be other than rain?

[GIDEON BRIGGS, spoken]
Perhaps we'd best ponder tomorrow

[ENSEMBLE, spoken]
Tomorrow?

[GIDEON BRIGGS]
'Twill be a day borrowed from heaven
'Twill have a sky wonderous blue
'Twill be a day borrowed from heaven
Woke up this morning and somehow I knew
[ENSEMBLE]
'Twill be a day borrowed from heaven
'Twill have a sky, oh, wonderous blue
'Twill be a day borrowed from heaven
Wake up tomorrow and see it come true
