Waking up to Deadpool - Lyrics and Opening Scene from Angel of the Morning
I'm not a morning person. That's why I keep my Alexa unit close to the bed, so I can shake off the cobwebs by playing Juice Newtown's Angel of the Morning. It's a soft, gentle, sweet song that wonderfully belies the gristly hilarious opening teaser for the the original film Deadpool. Each day I imagine the amazing cinematography sweeping around a suspended moment in time: zooming from a man with a cigarette lighter burn mark on his forehead, passing an ironic Green Lantern playing card and Hello Kitty lip balm, to Ryan Reynold's red-suited crotch (and all sorts of other great Easter eggs). The camera pans through the car and out to the frozen falling car tableau.
As we know, Deadpool is a love story. And all the best love stories begin with a murder. And possibly Juice Newton.
Here's the brilliant opening scene with the not-to-be ignored title credits...followed with the lyrics for Angel of the Morning, so you too can awaken to the soft notes and violent Deadpool imagery for yourself:

Angel of the Morning
(Sang by Juice Newton - Songwriters: Chip Taylor/Angel of the Morning lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC (1968) There'll be no strings to bind your hands Not if my love can't bind your heart And there's no need to take a stand For it was I who chose to start I see no need to take me home I'm old enough to face the dawn Just call me angel of the morning, (angel) Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby Just call me angel of the morning, (angel) Then slowly turn away from me Maybe the sun's light will be dim And it won't matter anyhow If morning's echo says we've sinned It was what I wanted now And if we're victims of the night I won't be blinded by the light Just call me angel of the morning, (angel) Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby Just call me angel of the morning, (angel) Then slowly turn away I won't beg you to stay with me Through the tears of the day, of the years Baby, baby, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, (angel) Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby Just call me angel of the morning, (angel) Just touch my cheek before you leave me, darling Just call me angel of the morning, angel Just touch my cheek before you leave me, darling
