Lyrics:

The crescent moon is calling from an ink blue night; A growing glow of yellow shows the time is ripe. Won't you wake up please and dance with me? Won't you wake up please and dance with me? There's a cloud on the meadow and a mist in the trees; Mother Earth is whispering on a placid breeze. Won't you wake up please and dance with me? Won't you wake up please and dance with me? We can take this time and make it ours Underneath a canopy of stars It's doesn't matter, come out as you are Come and dance with me and be my Morning Star Come and dance with me and be my Morning Star The sleepy world won't notice It's just me and you, A lonely songbird's singing, Some forgotten tune Won't you wake up please and dance with me? Won't you wake up please and dance with me? Your morning coffee's steaming sunlight marks the day As you lay there dreaming the magic slips away Won't you wake up please and dance with me? Won't you wake up please and dance with me? We can take this time and say it's ours Some precious moments to last hours Doesn't matter come out as you are Come and dance with me, and be my Morning Star Come and dance with me, you're my Morning Star

Story:

This song is a beautiful and romantic invitation to dance and enjoy the beauty of the natural world. The imagery of the crescent moon, the yellow glow of dawn, and the mist in the trees creates a dreamy, magical atmosphere. The repeated refrain of "Won't you wake up please and dance with me?" emphasizes the sense of longing and desire to share this moment with someone special. The idea of taking this time and making it our own suggests that the world can be a busy and chaotic place, but we can find peace and joy by connecting with each other and the world around us. The final lines about morning coffee and the slipping away of magic suggest that time is fleeting and we should make the most of the moments we have. The idea of the speaker's partner being their "Morning Star" is a sweet and romantic metaphor, suggesting that they bring light and joy to their life. Overall, this song is a beautiful celebration of love, nature, and the simple pleasures of life.
