This Morning (Love You)

This morning the light seems brighter
My head feels lighter
All my worries have been washed away
I jump out of bed, 'cause it's the start of a brand new day
This morning I'm feeling enchanted
I take it for granted
That you know what I’m thinking of
Cause I met a girl and now it seems I woke up in love
As soon as I open my eyes it's clear
That something good is happening here
And I've been waiting my whole life through for a girl like her
This morning sunshine seems to follow me around
Something sweeps me off the ground
I guess I'm still too young to know for sure
But I feel it just might last forevermore with her
This morning I slowly remember
Her lips warm and tender
And her eyes shining like the Sun
I wave goodbye to the Moon, maybe my lonely days are done
This morning the grass is greener
The air feels cleaner
And the birds are chirpin' along
To the tune in my heart and we're all singing the same sweet song
As soon as I open my eyes it's clear
That something good is happening here
And I've been waiting my whole life through for a girl like her
This morning sunshine seems to follow me around
Something sweeps me off the ground
I guess I'm still too young to know for sure
But I feel it just might last forevermore with her
(So won't you wake) Wake up, wake up, wake up and smile and just
Walk, walk for a while
And just smile
The world is waiting just for you
This morning I get up and running
I seem to be shunning
Every care that has brought me down
So get out of my way, I'm gonna shout it all over town
As soon as I open my eyes it's clear
That something good is happening here
And I've been waiting my whole life through for a girl like her
This morning sunshine seems to follow me around
Something sweeps me off the ground
I guess I'm still too young to know for sure
But I feel it just might last forevermore with her
(So won't you wake) Wake up, wake up, wake up and smile and just
Walk, walk for a while
And just smile
The world is waiting just for you

I saw you yesterday in the park
I caught your eye and I made a remark
You smiled, you thought it was funny
The day felt bright and sunny
Baby how I wish you were mine
We walked along and enjoyed the view
You looked at birds, I looked at you
I said when can I see you again
You smiled at me and ran off in the rain
Baby, how I long to be yours
I’m confused
I didn’t mean to push you away
Was it me or just a silly little game that you play
I should have run after you
But my mind was in disarray
Today I went back there in search of you
My hopes were slim, my fears came true
No traces left of our time together
No sign of you, didn’t notice the weather
Baby how I long to be yours

What you seek isn’t always what you’ll find
Don’t let it bring you down no more
Stick around to see what this place holds in store for us
The long run shouldn’t leave you breathless
Before it’s even half begun
I can’t understand why you’d end it so soon
Let us get old and grey
We can sit here and gaze at the moon
It’s full on in early May
How can I convince you to stay
What you get isn’t always what you give
I could do you wrong you know
Wait and see how time will straighten out all our differences
Daylight’s coming, darkness is retreating
I’m glad you decided to stay

California is a thousand miles away and I know
It’ll be so many months of rain and cold and snow
And I guess I’ll always be - in love with summer
But for all my misery
Summer is a state of mind (driftin’ away to another time, driftin’ away, it’s a state of mind now)
Keep saying it all the time
Summer is a state of mind for me (driftin’ away to another time, driftin’ away, it’s a state of mind now)
Think about those summer days
And the girls that we could chase
Close my eyes and leave this place behind
Summer is a state of mind
Skies are grey it’s getting darker day by day and it seems
I’m slipping further from the summer of my dreams
I’m so tired of feeling blue – all through the winter
There’s just one thing I can do
Summer is a state of mind (driftin’ away to another time, driftin’ away, it’s a state of mind now)
Keep saying it all the time
Summer is a state of mind for me (driftin’ away to another time, driftin’ away, it’s a state of mind now)
Think about those summer days
And the girls that we could chase
Close my eyes and leave this place behind
There is a world of clear blue sky
Where suntanned girls and icecream swirls will get you high – so high
Nights down on the beach, we listen to the rolling waves
Summer is a state of mind (driftin’ away to another time, driftin’ away, it’s a state of mind now)
Keep saying it all the time
Summer is a state of mind for me (driftin’ away to another time, driftin’ away, it’s a state of mind now)
Think about those summer days
And the girls that we could chase
Close my eyes and leave this place behind
Summer is a state of mind
Close your eyes and visualize, it’s a state of mind
