Who Made Mornings Come So Early?

I want to wake up smiling

But it's just so hard to do

I've been like this forever

It isn't something new

It's not just that I'm tired

From getting up with kids at night

It's not because of caffeine

Exercise or eating right

It's not because I'm dreaming

Of some picture perfect life

I don't dream of fame or fortune

Or being some star's wife

Ask my parents, friends or husband

They'll all tell you that it's true

I'm just not a morning person

It's not something I can do

I try to stay on top of things

Prepare the night before

If I try to get up earlier

I end up racing for the door

Knowing of my troubles

might make you think I'm always late

But if you expect me at 8:30

I'll probably get there 8:28

It's not cuz I'm still sleeping

Though my snooze IS my best friend

I'm usually just sitting there

Wishing that is was the weekend

You'll often find me searching

for my missing coffee cup

I usually misplace it 

when I'm trying to wake up

It takes a half an hour

before my feet will hit the ground

and then at least an hour

before I really come around

With such a slow and painful start

To Each and Every Day

I think that it's amazing

The kids get to school okay

I can't find a solution

There is no magic pill

I never did like mornings

And I doubt I ever will.
