By Paul McCartney



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



Today, wait until the morning comes

Before you slip away

Without permission

Without suspicion

Without permission given



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 gotta stay



Today, wait until the morning comes

Before you slip away

Without permission

Without suspicion

Without permission given



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



To me you are the loveliest thing I've seen all day

And 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

Yeah, it had to be this way



Today, wait until the morning comes

Before you slip away, today

Before you slip away

Without permission

Without suspicion

Without permission given to you, ah
