I Love You In The Morning (Piano Version)

I love you in the morning, with your body soft and warm beside me,
Your head upon my pillow, and your hair uncombed and free.
There is nothing more to say or do, I only want to stay by you,
The sun comes up it's shining.   It's the morning.   (Rpt verse = Good morning.)   You're my life.

My lady when I looked and saw you, I could only love you more and more,
You've given me the morning, and you've given me your life.
Soon the time will come to kiss and wake you.   Turn your head, and in the time it takes you
I'll whisper that I love you, yes'n good morning you're my life.

(Piano break, then repeat both verses with further piano break between them.)

 

I Love You In The Morning (Guitar Version)

I love you in the morning, with your body soft and warm beside me,
Your head upon my pillow, and your hair uncombed and free.
There is nothing more to say or do, I only want to lay by you,
The sun comes up it's shining, yes'n good morning you're my life.

That night we lay there with a full moon shining.   You kissed me gently and you taste like wine.
Your body turns to silver as you drift away to dream.
Now the morning light is soft and golden.   Your eyes are heavy for the night still holds them.
You know I love you, yes'n good morning you're my life.

My lady when we lay together your body keeps me warm,
A shelter in that storm that tried to shake us.
My lady when we lay together, your body keeps me warm,
A shelter in that storm that tried to shake us.

My lady when I looked and saw you, I could only love you more and more,
You've given me the morning, and you've given me your life.
Soon the time will come to kiss and wake you.   Turn your head, and in the time it takes you
I'll whisper that I love you, yes'n good morning you're my life.

I'll whisper that I love you, yes'n good morning you're my life.

I'll whisper that I love you.
I'll whisper that I love you.
You're my life.

 

(As We Lay There) Sunday Morning

As we lay there, Sunday morning, on the seventeenth of April,
With The Sunday Times Review and cups of coffee on the table,
I was tryin' to make some good sense of the pictures in the paper
While I tried to make some better sense of you.

That was Sunday morning and my hand began to stray
Til there was nothing left between us but the sheet on which we lay
And the birds outside were singing in another sunny day
And it was Sunday and the seventeenth of June.

How you came to be there I'm not really all that sure,
Ah but anyway we liked each other and we kissed a little more
As the milkman left a bottle and a bill outside the door
And it was Sunday and seventh of July.

We dispensed with Sunday lunchtime, with a joint and all that stuff
Why we only had each other but it seemed like quite enough,
There was no time then for eating we were busy making love
And it was Sunday and the seventeenth of June.

As we lay there, Sunday morning, on the seventeenth of April,
With The Sunday Times Review and cups of coffee on the table,
I was tryin' to make some good sense of the pictures in the paper
While I tried to make some better sense of you.

 

Love Isn't Always A Game (The Manchester Girls - First Rough Demo Tape)

Last time you held me in your arms,
I felt protected and I whispered, "I love you".
And safe within my lover's arms,
I thought it funny when you didn't seem to hear a word.

I thought you had made your mind up.
(You seemed so very far away,)
I thought you had made your mind up.
(So many things I couldn't say to you.)

Give me a little of the love you've been given,
Love isn't always a game.
Leave me a little of the life we've been livin',
I don't believe you want me back again.

If you could hold me once again,
Then I would give you every minute of each hour
But if I lived my life again,
I'd turn away from you, I wouldn't seem to hear a word.

 

I Never Thought I'd Miss You

As I wander through the lonely dawn of someone else's morning,
I keep wishing you weren't quite so far away.
Why is it always your face in the mirror that is forming
On the pavement. It's another rainy day.

I never thought I'd miss you, like I never thought I'd hold you by the hand.
Isn't life just like a rolling dice, a spinning wheel, a played-out poker hand.

Coffee at The Corner House, the crowds and the confusion,
But I might as well be drinking on my own.
The meetings when we laugh and sing are mostly an illusion,
In my mind I'm always on my way back home.

I never thought I'd miss you, like I never thought I'd hold you by the hand.
Isn't life just like a rolling dice, a spinning wheel, a played-out poker hand.

Last night there was another girl, another lonely evening,
At another High Street Kensington address.
We sat around and talked a bit with neither of us feeling
Much like making love it couldn't have meant less.

I never though I'd miss you, like I never thought I'd hold you by the hand.
Isn't life just like a rolling dice, a spinning wheel, a played-out poker hand.

Tonight I'll sing another song, the money I will get
Could mean I'll send another cable home to you.
Now I know how much I needed you I don't know why I left,
But at the time it seemed the natural thing to do.

I never thought I'd miss you, like I never thought I'd hold you by the hand.
Isn't life just like a rolling dice, a spinning wheel, a played-out poker hand.

I never thought I'd miss you, like I never thought I'd hold you by the hand.
Isn't life just like a rolling dice,
A spinning wheel,
A played-out poker hand.
