Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning

When through the sleepy haze I see her lying there

Soft as the rain that falls on summerflowers

Warm as the sunlight shining on her head





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



Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning

Chasing the rainbow in her dreams so far away

And when she turns to touch me I kiss her fingers so softly

And then my Mary wake to love and love again



And Mary's there in summer days or stormy weather

She doesn't care how right or wrong the love we share,

We share together



Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the evening

Kissed by the shade of night and starlight in her hair

And as we walk, I hold her close beside me

All our tomorrows for a lifetime we will share
