A letra:
When
I wake up in the morning, love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And
something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind
Then I look at you
And the world's
alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A
lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely
day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day (lovely day,
lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day,
lovely day, lovely day)
When the day that lies ahead of
me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of
me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you
And the world's
alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A
lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely
day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day (lovely day,
lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day,
lovely day, lovely day)
When the day that lies ahead of
me
Seems impossible to face
And when someone else instead of
me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you
And the world's
alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A
lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely
day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day (lovely day,
lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day,
lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day,
lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day (lovely day, lovely day,
lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day,
lovely day)
A lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day,
lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A
lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely
day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day (lovely day,
lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day,
lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day,
lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
