In The Morning Light lyrics:
So in the morning when I see her in the light
She comes through to me in any kind of weather
And I know I'll never see a brighter day
When she smiles with her eyes
And even with a clouded heart chocked full of doubt
She can sing away the worry of rejection
She’s a wonder to behold
I'll love her till I'm growing old and that’s the plan
But if I could find more, that’s worthy
I surrender it all
I’m not sure that I deserve the love that I receive
But I give it all to her
Captivating when she moves across the floor
I remembered what it is I came here for
And it seems so easy now
I can’t believe it but somehow I’ve made her mine
Every now and then the past will ring a bell
But I’m not looking back I'm only moving forward
If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't be
here anyhow and it’s been clear
But if I could find more, that’s worthy
I surrender it all
I’m not sure that I deserve the love that I receive
But I give it all to her
[Instrumental passage]
So if I come to some conclusion by tonight
I'll be free from all the sorrow I've been drinking
I swear I'll never let her down
I couldn't bare to hear the sound of her steps leaving
And in the evening when the sun is running low
I’ll walk bravely through the fields of burning ember
and I’ll remember everything she said to me when
our love was first in bloom
But if I could find more, that’s worthy
I surrender it all
All the praise that I could earn
Means nothing without hers
I’m not sure that I deserve all the love that I receive
But I give it all to her
In The Morning Light written by William Lee Apostol a/k/a Billy Strings / Paul Hoffman

Billy Strings official bio:
Michigan-born and now Nashville-based, Billy Strings is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician, who arrived on the scene as “one of string music’s most dynamic young stars” (Rolling Stone). Strings is in the midst of a triumphant year after winning Best Bluegrass Album at the 63rd Grammy Awards for his critically acclaimed record, Home. Produced by Glenn Brown, the record also led Strings to top Billboard’s 2020 year-end charts in both Bluegrass categories-Top Bluegrass Artists and Top Bluegrass Albums-and continues to receive widespread critical acclaim. Of the release, The Associated Press proclaims, “it is his creative musical storytelling, paired with solid vocals on Home that should seal the deal, pleasing fans of the genre and creating some new ones…the perfect blend of pure talent and pluck,” while The Wall Street Journal declares, “Billy Strings has clearly emerged as a premier guitar flatpicker of this era.” Since his debut, Strings has been awarded Guitar Player of the Year and New Artist of the Year at the International Bluegrass Music Awards, selected as one of Rolling Stone’s “New Country Artists to Know” and performed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and PBS’ “Bluegrass Underground.” Known for his electric live shows, Strings will continue his extensive headline tour throughout 2021 including upcoming shows in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Denver, Austin, Atlanta and Nashville among several others.
