the loveliest thing
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 You 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 Without suspicion Without permission given You used to be and 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 Today To me you are the loveliest thing I've seen all day And 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 Before you slip away Without permission Without suspicion.
