[Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus 2]
Today, wait until the morning comes
Before you slip away
Without permission
Without suspicion
Without permission given

[Verse 1]
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 got to stay

[Chorus 2]
Today, wait until the morning comes
Before you slip away
Without permission
Without suspicion
Without permission given
[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus 2]
Today, wait until the morning comes
Before you slip away
Without permission
Without suspicion
Without permission given
