The Morning After
(Song from “The Poseidon Adventure”)
There’s got to be a morning after
If we can hold on through the night.
We have a chance to find the sunshine,
Let’s keep looking for the light.

Oh, can’t you see the morning after?
It’s waiting right outside the storm.
Why don’t we cross the bridge together
And find a place that’s safe and warm.

It’s not too late, we should be giving.
Only with love can we climb.
It’s not too late, not while we’re living.
Let’s put our hands out in time.

There’s got to be a morning after.
We’re moving closer to the shore.
I know we’ll be there by tomorrow
And we’ll escape the darkness,
We won’t be searching anymore.

There’s got to be a morning after.
