Mary In The Morning (album "Gentle on My Mind", 1967)
Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning When through a sleepy haze I see her lyin' there Soft as the rain that falls on summer flowers Warm as the sunlight shinin' on her golden hair, mhm.
When I wake and see her there so close beside me I want to take her in my arms The ache is there so deep inside me And nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning.
Chasin' a rainbow in the dream so far away And when she turns to touch it I kiss her face so softly My Mary wakes to love another day, mhm.
My Mary's there in sunny days or stormy weather She doesn't care 'cause right or wrong The love we share we share together And nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the evening.
Kissed by the shades of night and starlight on her hair And as we walk I hold her close beside me Oh, how tomorrows for lifetime we'll share, mhm.
Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the evening...
