To me you are the loveliest thing I've seen all day
You can't take that away, no, you can't take that away
All my life, I wondered why it couldn't be this way
That was up until today, oh, it had to be this way
Today, wait until the morning comes
before you slip away,
without permission, without suspicion,
without permission given
You seem to have a friendlier smile than all the rest
Well I looked and you were best, yeah, I've looked at all the rest
Can't imagine passionate words that I would say
If only you would stay, oh, you know you gotta stay
Today, wait until the morning comes
before you slip away,
Without permission, above suspicion,
without permission given
You used to be an early bird
But how was I to know
you would leave without shedding a tear
I only want to love you
I'll make a wish and suddenly I'm glad that I have you here
Oh, I'm glad I have you here
To me you are the loveliest thing I've seen all day
You can't take that away, no, you can't take that away
All my life, I wondered why it couldn't be this way
That was up until today, yeah, it had to be this way
Today, wait until the morning comes
before you slip away,
Today, wait until the morning comes
before you slip away,
Without permission, above suspicion,
without permission given
Uhh uh-uh-uh-uhmmm
