Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning
|
When through a sleepy haze I see her lying there
|
Soft as the rain that falls on summer flowers
|
Warm as the sunlight shining on her golden hair, aah-umm
|
|
When I awake and see her there so close beside me
|
I want to take her in my arms, the ache is there so deep inside me
|
|
Nothin's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning
|
Chasing a rainbow in her dreams so far away
|
And when she turns to touch me I kiss her face so softly
|
Then my Mary wakes to love another day, aah-umm
|
|
And Mary's there in sunny days or stormy weather
|
She doesn't care `cause right or wrong the love we share, we share together
|
|
Nothin's quite as pretty as Mary in the evening
|
Kissed by the shades of night and starlight on her hair
|
And as we walk, I hold her close beside me
|
All our tomorrows for a lifetime we will share, aah-umm, aah-umm
|

aah-umm
