Lovers we are free
Sunday Morning is our happy time
From Monday through Friday
Yes we gona have hard days
And saturday's giving us break
Sunday Morning Lovers We're OK
Sunday Morning
When Sunday Morning sun shines
No we never gonna wake up
And dream of
our sweetest dream come true
Sunday Morning
Lovers we are three
Sunday Morning
nothing can be bad
We wake up in the day time
And we love our conversation
And try again it's not too late
Time flies
And life going on
Whatever comes whatever goes
We'll be the same old friends
Sunday Morning Lovers

Sunday Morning

From Monday through Friday
Yes we gonna have hard days
And Saturday's giving us break
Sunday Morning Lovers we're OK
Sunday Morning

When Sunday Morning sun shines
No we never gonna wake up
And dream of
our sweetest dream come true

確かもう、約２５年くらい前だったかな？ドラマの中の挿入歌に使われた曲だったかな？って懐かしく聴かせてもらっています。とても気持ちを明るく楽しくしてくれる1曲です。有り難うございます。カラオケに行っても歌わせてもらっています。😉🌱
