daylight's
What morning brings
Daylight's is the possessive form of daylight, indicating something belonging to or associated with the light of day.
Most often appears in fixed expressions: daylight's end, daylight's first appearance.
Also occurs in the phrase scare the living daylights out of someone, where daylights is slang for vital organs or consciousness—The noise scared the daylight's out of me uses the possessive form, though the apostrophe is often omitted.
