The Loveliest Thing

McCartney Paul

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
