I wake up to beauty in bed with me
hold your hand and kiss you while you sleep
I thank God for my daily routine
waking up to beauty in bed with me
I linger longer most days than I should
laying in the arms of the man who does me good
I fall in to sleeping through the morning
sun up, sun go, sun come again
What a lovely thing to wake to
wildflowers in our hair
what a lovely thing to waste
I’d spend the day in bed with you
but babe you know I just can’t sleep past noon
Even in my dreams I’m true to you
cause there ain’t no other woman who knows me like you do
good looks will come, but soon be through
but my future’s found in history and my history’s found in you
I hate the days when you must rise to go
I’ll sing you something dreamy, drown out the rooster’s crow,
I love you and look forward to the road
that leads from Philadelphia and the lights of boathouse row
What a lovely thing to wake to
wildflowers in our hair
what a lovely thing to waste
I’d spend the day in bed with you, but babe you know I just can’t sleep past noon
