[Verse 1: José James]
When I wake up in the morning, love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind

[Chorus: José James]
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)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)

[Verse 2: José James]
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
[Chorus: José James, José James & Lalah Hathaway]
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)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)

[Verse 2: José James & Lalah Hathaway]
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
Oh, when someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way

[Chorus: José James & Lalah Hathaway]
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
[Outro: José James]
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
