marsha, that's "summertime" from porgy and bess by gershwin. i'd tell you the plot, but unfortunately i'm a plebian and have no idea.

the second verse:

one of these mornin's
you gonna rise up singin'
you'll spread your wings
and you'll take to the sky
but 'till that mornin'
aint nothin' can harm you
with daddy and mammy standin' by

i have the most heavenly recording by ella fitzgerald and louis armstrong, mmmmmmmmmmmmm.......
