"Early In The Morning" is the lost might-have-been second single, written and performed by soft-and-smooth-voiced pop singer Larry Santos that his record company, Casablanca Records, forgot to release on 7" vinyl, taken from both his 1975 album, Larry Santos and the 1976 follow-up, You Are Everything I Need .
This song is mainly all about Father God touching a newborn child with Christian love and inspiration on an early morning when he suffers from leprosy or disease and it is an early example of Christian music where it has Christian lyrics such as "I long to touch You like the rising sun/Early in the morning, early in the morning/I want to feel Your warmness by My side" and "So come and lay by Me and stay by Me/Don't be afraid to open Your love and let Me in/I've needed One like You to love Me too/Early in the morning/Early in the morning", which is way before Contemporary Christian artists like Kathy Troccoli, Sheila Walsh (singer), Amy Grant, Twila Paris and Michael W. Smith. It is now available only in the MP3 format on CD Baby. In this song, the biblical words, I, My and Me refer to Jesus, the Lord or God and also You, Your and One refer to holy newborn child.
