Harry Nilsson - Daybreak Lyrics






Here comes the daylight
It's makin' me sad
Here comes the sunlight
Makin' me sad
Had a good time last night
Best I ever had
Here come the sunshine
That's makin' me sad
So sad, so sad, so sad, so sad

Here come the daybreak
It's bringin' me pain
It's causin' me heartache
I wish it would rain
Had a good time last night
Just me and my friends
But here come the daylight
And now it's the end
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

Here come the daylight
It's bringin' me down
Causin' me heartache
It's spinnin' my head around, yeah
Here come the daylight
It's bringin' me pain
It's causin' me heartache
I wish it would rain
Had a good time last night
Just me and my friends
But here come the daylight
And now it's the end
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

Here come the daylight
It's bringin' me down
It's causin' me heartache
It's spinnin' my head around, yeah
Here come the daybreak
It's makin' me cough
It's causin' me sunburn
It's pissin' me off
Had a good time last night, yeah
In the moon's glimpse
Now all that'll save me
Is a total eclipse
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no...

Harry Nilsson Daybreak Comments
  1. D.... G....

    Thank you. Now I know this song wasn't just my imagination.

  2. P.... T....

    with the pling from Facebook messenger, Son of Dracula > Ringo Starr

  3. T.... G....

    When the whole band comes in at 1:45.... it just doesn’t get any better than that!

  4. J.... L....

    Never saw the movie("Son Of Dracula"),but I surely like the song!!!

  5. P.... R....

    I bought the album in 1974. Just parted with it to a mate who collects vinyl. Best story album ever.

  6. N.... S....

    This is from his Vampire movie.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

  7. R.... G....

    Can anyone get through to Zak or Kief or Drake, so they could maybe nudge Ringo about a DVD release? I've posted on Ringo's Facebook page, but I doubt he'll see it. Harry's been gone 25 years... I've heard the movie was chaos, but as a series of music videos it works better, and so many of our lost ones are in it.

  8. c.... a....

    SUPER JOB!!!! Chet

  9. G.... M....

    Cheesy movie, great songs.

  10. T.... F....

    Bobby Key's

  11. O.... P....

    Spectacular! Harry Neilson Archive, you did a great job of bringing this video back from the grave! No-one performs cleaver music this theatrical anymore. This whole album "Son of Dracula" has no references to "makin' Benjamins & getting mo' booty", so young people probably won't understand it. 
    "The Archive" has done an amazing job. Thank you for this precious gem of pop culture!

  12. k.... m....

    nicely done. thank you.

  13. s.... h....

    Underrated artist.

  14. B.... G....

    The Beatles knew their shit!

  15. B.... G....

    Him not in the R&R HOF shows what a joke that place is!

  16. r.... s....

    I'm just sittin on my porch Can't walk wright but i'd put on some skates go backwards and bust this old head just one more time

  17. M.... ....

    Thanks for uploading this mate

  18. B.... D....

    Cool song and clip, good to see…I really thought by now someone would have said "I coulda used a little more cowbell!" (played by George Harrison, too bad he and Harry could not see the positive comments here.)

    B.... D....

    who's idea was that... Peter Frampton plays guitar, I know he was one of George's go to guitar players... but George on cowbell? bit odd.

  19. c.... ....

    This was my first introduction to Harry. I bought the single!

  20. R.... ....

    What a great artifact!Thanks so much for making the best of such a rare piece of film - I've got the gatefold album but have never seen the film (a bit of a car crash cinematically as I understand it). Harry's early talent was vastly under-appreciated despite the Beatles' endorsement and later, sadly, self-sabotaged by his desire to complete "Pussy Cats" with John Lennon.

  21. F.... L....

    Thank you for this, my wife and I really enjoyed it. Didn't even know this song was out there until I saw the Nilsson documentary on AXS TV. Thanks again. You did a great job with what you had to work with.

  22. r.... ....

    Great song, brings me in the (right) mood! Tenx for posting.

  23. L.... F....

    Thank you for posting!!! Love, love, love!!

  24. C.... F....

    Who's the other guy besides Harry and Bobby Keys at the beginning?

    C.... F....

    Are you talking about Peter Frampton playing bass?

    C.... F....

    That is not Peter Frampton playing bass. I've been trying to figure this out for a long time. Possibly Marc Bolan but wrong color hair. Please, does anyone know?

    C.... F....

    @Carla DiCiaccio It's Rick Wills ( he was uncredited in the movie )

    C.... F....

    Lee McDaid ....Thank you you so much for the answer!! Rick Wills, the mystery man! It looked like he was having a good time, and he looked good on stage with his long rock n' roll hair.

    C.... F....

    @Carla DiCiaccio The internet is a wonderful resource for musical historians :)

  25. r.... ....

    love this one, tenx! great job on the sound and video!

  26. T.... B....

    time for me to get into Nilsson mode can,t get any better then this

  27. G.... ....

    One of the greatest voices in the history of music.  I miss him.

    G.... ....

    you have said a mouth full as do I miss him lucky for us he left as all this music

  28. E.... F....

    "That line" is why ya love Harry. It's why we bought the album those many years ago. There just doesn't seam to be anyone around with "character", that stands out, like HARRY. And I think the music world is poorer for it.

  29. w.... ....

    Great tune

  30. A.... C....

    Best known for "Everybody's Talkin" from "Midnight Wow-boy". Harry Nilsson is one of those talented but under-rated artists like Niel Sedaka who continuously break new ground with hit after hit, but are studiously ignored by media moguls! They prefer no talent uber-bitches like Justin Bieber because they are easily twisted into a pretzel.

  31. A.... C....


    thank you for reinstating "its making me cough, its causing me sunburn, its pissing me off".  - Could not believe it when I heard that on the radio once in 1974. 

    A.... C....

    @Arthur Cabral Haha, thanks

    A.... C....

    +Arthur Cabral Totally makes it! Good job.

    A.... C....

    +Daisy Rothschild - Um, you are not one of the 4000 or so on the outer periphery of the Council on Foreign Affairs, Federal Reserve, International Monetary Fund or Bank of International Settlement "Rothschilds". That family alone holds almost half the world's liquid asset, and controls many international energy monopolies. So what if the world dies, - as long as they stay opulent.

    A.... C....

    Pas de tout, we are more of the philanthropic branch, and, you might say, more into grapes.
