When I first saw you baby Something strange happened inside Well my heart skipped a beat But my blood raced in time
And I knew then and there You would be part of my design And I may be the only one to make you feel Whole inside
Yet I knew within seconds you would be mine Like my grandpa said "Doesn't take a whole day to recognize sunshine."
And I remember the smell Of rain in your hair And the view from the window Everything looked so small from way up there
And the way they Your weight on me walking down the stairs And I don't think I could ever forget That careful, careless step
I could smell you'd been drinking When you said "will you be mine?" Like my grandpa said, "Doesn't take a whole day to recognize sunshine"
I can never take you or leave you baby You can chew me body, soul and mind There we were On the stairs with your skin pressed against mine
Though you led me astray baby At the same time it was alright When they say, "the wages of sin is death" But that night we sure created new life, ooh
When I saw his face, all I could see was mine Like my grandpa said, Doesn't take a whole day, oh no baby Doesn't take a whole day, oh oh ooh baby Doesn't take a whole day--I knew right then and there It doesn't take a whole day--oh oh ooh baby It doesn't take a whole day Doesn't take a whole day--sing it with me babe Doesn't take a whole day to recognize sunshine
