Lyrics Daylight - In Concert at The Hippodrome Theatre, 1974 - The Kinks

Aylight over the Village Green early in the morning
Daylight over the hills and valleys heralding the morning
Daylight over the mountains, daylight on the Village Green
Daylight over the field and the factories
Another night has gone away and here comes yet another day

See the early morning risers walking round with bleary eyes
Worn out housewives grit their teeth ignoring new born babies' cries
Look at all the busy people this way, that way, everywhere
Biting toast and swallowing tea and breakfast specials on the air
Feel that daylight

Feel the sunlight on my pillow and it stops my yawing
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

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

Feel that daylight, Daylight
Daylight on the Village Green
Daylight
Field and the valleys
Daylight
