Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning   When through a sleepy haze I see her lying there   Soft as the rain that falls on summer flowers   Warm as the sunlight shining on her golden hair      When I awake I 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 face so softly   And then my Mary wakes to love another day      And Mary's there in summer days or stormy weather   She doesn't care, or right or wrong the love we share   We share together      Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the evening   Kissed by the shades 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
