| Song | I Like the Sunrise |
| Artist | Nina Simone |
| Album | Nina Simone Sings Ellington! |
| (1947) duke ellington | |
| I like the sunrise cos it brings a new day | |
| I like the new day it brings new hope they say | |
| I like the sunrise blazing in the new sky | |
| Nighttime's so weary and oh so am i | |
| Every evening i wish upon a star | |
| That my brand new tomorrow isn't very far | |
| When that heavy blue curtain on night | |
| Is high in the sky way out of sight | |
| I like the sunrise so heavenly to see | |
| I like the sunrise and i hope it likes poor me |
