[Verse 1:]
Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning.
When through a sleepy haze I see her lying there,

Soft as the rain that falls on summer flowers,
Warm as the sunlight shining on her golden hair.


[Chorus 1:]
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.


[Verse 2:]
Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning,
Chasing a rainbow in her dreams so far away.

And when she turns to touch it I kiss her fingers so softly,
And then my Mary wakes to love another day.


[Chorus 2:]
And Mary's there,
In summer days or stormy weather,

She doesn't care 'cause right or wrong,
The love we share, we share together.


[Verse 3:]
Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the evening.
Kissed by the shades 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.


[Coda:]
And Mary's there.
And Mary's there.

And Mary's there.
