"Another Morning"

I listened to Days of Future Passed yester-day because it may have been the anniversary of its release (on their social channels, the Moody Blues said it was, but the liner notes of the 2008 CD re-issue say that the album was released on the 11th).  In any case, I was thinking about "Another Morning" even before I listened to the album and realized a small thing about it:  in the lines "Time seems to stand quite still / In a child's world, it always will," "will" is sung with a melisma (B A F# E) musically giving a sense of duration for that "always."
