William Willett (August 10, 1856 – March 4, 1915) is the inventor of Daylight saving time.

To my surprise, and my delight

I saw sunrise, I saw sunlight

I am nothing in the dark

And the clouds burst to show daylight


Ooh and the sun will shine

Yeah on this heart of mine

Ooh and I realise

Who cannot live without

Ooh come apart without

It

On a hill top, on a sky-rise

Like a first born child

On a full day, and a full flight

Defeat darkness, breaking daylight


Ooh and the sun will shine

Yeah on this heart of mine

Ooh and I realise

Who cannot live without

Ooh come apart without

Daylight

Slowly breaking through the daylight...........................
