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 summer flowers 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 face so softly and then my mary wakes 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
