Album: Feels Like Home
Song: Sunrise
lyrics typed by Eric Lai (www.airlai.com)

Sunrise, sunrise
Looks like morning in your eyes
But the clock's held 9:15 for hours

Sunrise, sunrise
Couldn't tempt us if it tried
'Cause the afternoon's already come and gone

And I say hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
Do you?

Surprise, surprise
Couldn't find it in your eyes
But I'm sure it's written all over my face

Surprise, surprise
Never something I could hide
When I see we made it through another day

And I say hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
Do you?


And now the night
Will throw its cover down
mmmmm, on me again
Ooooh, and if I'm right
It's the only way to bring me back

hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
Do you?

hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
Do you?

Lovely innocent song...it does make you want to just lay in bed with her all day and just watch the rain. I cannot only think of my recent love lost - being miles away we were able to just drift away until surise.

One of my favourite Norah songs. I remember hearing it for the first time in a restaurant when on holiday in Jasper in the Canadian Rockies in July 2004, just as the the sun was setting over the mountains after a lovely hot and sunny day. Now whenever I hear it it reminds me of that time.

this song is one of my favorit norah songs. i plan to sing it at my schools talent show that we call coffee house. it's really fun. the song just has such simple lyrics, but they mean a lot more when you really get down into it. to answer your question rajan, the morning in your eyes part is about the guy she is with. that's whos eyes. and the we part is her and this guy. they made it together thru another day. :) hope that helps!

the best part about this song is, the basic theme of the entire first album is "i want you but i cant have you," and then you turn this one on and its like here she is, waking up and realizing that she and her lover made it. theyre still together and they still love each other. its like the whole first cd was building up to the second one kind of.

Here in Tahiti where i live, the norah jones kind of music is not very appreciated. My friends tell me each time I listen this music "Oh, all of her songs sound everytime the same..." Well, that's how i thought before i've taken the time to translate the lyrics. And when I succeed to understand the meaning of its, I did was very estonnished about how talentfull this exceptional lady is ! Perhaps she doesn't have a great voice (in a technical point of view ) like Mariah Carrey or Céline Dion, but she's got such sensuality, a fragile deepness voice ! It's good to listen other style of music ... I just love her ...

i have had friends that list to slipknot and metal and others that listen to Rap and R&B that said they can't listen to this song bcuz it gets stuck in the their head (but they just don't want to admit they like it) :P i like alot of rap music and saw heard vid. for "don't know why" but i didn't get into it much but when i was flipping thru the vh1's and mtv's i saw Sunrise and then i downloaed a few songs like toes, those sweet words,the long way home" and i had to go get both albums and thats really all i listen to anymore but since searching on the net i'm really gaining a appreciation for blues and jazz. and Lee Alexander plays the bass very well and has me interested in learning to play the bass. i'm basicly gaining a new respect for a different kind of music in general all bcuz of Norah's music (which stemmed from the song "sunrise" that made me research her music) But don't get me wrong i love the entire band's style and how Daru Compliments her voice so elegantly. i thank them all for doing such a great contribution for the music community ........

This song caught my attention when I was simply switching between channels. On Mtv, the chorus - Sunrise,sunrise......stopped my fingers. My! That's was awesome! I have never heard something quite like this before, and I couldn't stop humming and singing the song for the rest of the day! It was all in me! I love the song very much, it gives me some kind of lift in my mood whenever I listen to the song. The day will not be dull anymore with the sunrise of Norah!

"SUNRISE", this song really lifts me up with its inspirational lyrics and nice music, I love the "jazzy" beginning and hearing that bass all along, together with the nice piano-sound.

I love this song... I usually hear when I'm alone after a hard day... With candles and Norah Jones' "Sunrise", it can be difficult not to cry.. It is simply beautiful!

i keep on singing this song when my friends are around. Now they started humming and even repeating the first line. Her song seems so ADDICTIVE. LOL.

This song is one of my favorites on this CD. I've watched it on line, and got a CD and DVD after that. It really lifted my spirits up after not even a decent breaking up that I've described in comments to "Comes Love". Thanks a lot Norah!!!

This song is so great. I love it- my fave line is 'looks like morning in your eyes' So cute!

Wow, I gotta admit I thought I was gonna just wait until the album came out to listen to Sunrise. But then they had the 'listen to Norah Jones new single - Sunrise' in MSN. I was just like 'yay!' 'finally!' 'yay! yay! yay!'
Well I didn't really expect what the song will be like, cos I had a pretty hard day. But then I listened to it, I don't know what's going on when I listened to Norah singing "Sunrise.... sunrise" it just made me smile! That was just amazing! I swear this is the first time I listen a song that could make me smile. I swear I smiled, it cheered me up it made me feel better. This is why I sent this to you all out there, I love this song. I'll definitely buy this album. I can't wait. Thank you Norah for bringing up my day.
