lay down and thought about you.
I tho't about the way that it could be.
Two o'clock, wond'rin' what I'm doin' here alone without you.
So, I close my eyes and dream you here to me.
And I woke up in love this mornin'.
I woke up in love this mornin'.
I woke up in love this mornin'.
I woke up in love this mornin'.
Went to sleep with you on my mind.
Hello girl, yes, its five o'clock,
I know, but just you listen.
There's something that I've got to let you know.
This is you, this pillow that I'm hugging and I'm kissing.
And one more thing before I let you go.
And I woke up in love this mornin'.
I woke up in love this mornin'.
Went to sleep with you on my mind.
I woke up in love this mornin'.
I woke up in love this mornin'.
Went to sleep with you on my mind.
Do dreams come true?
Well, if they do,
I'll have you not for just a night,
but for my whole life through.
Oh, I woke up in love this mornin'.
I woke up in love this mornin'.
Went to sleep with you on my mind.
I woke up in love this mornin'.
Oh, I woke up in love this mornin'.
The lyrics to David Cassidy's "I Woke Up In Love This Morning" is a romantic love ballad that talks about how the singer dreamed of his love interest and woke up in love with her. The first verse describes how the singer was thinking about his love interest while lying in bed at 2 o'clock in the morning, imagining her being with him. So he closes his eyes and dreams of her presence. The chorus repeats how he woke up in love that morning and that he went to sleep with her on his mind.
In the second verse, the singer seems to be talking to his love interest on the phone. He tells her that he is hugging and kissing a pillow and feels that it is her. The last part of the verse suggests that he has something important to tell her, but the lyrics do not reveal what it is. The chorus then repeats how he is in love with her when he wakes up in the morning.
The final verse asks if dreams come true, the singer hopes that they can, and if they do, he would have his love interest with him always, not just for one night. The repetition of the chorus at the end emphasizes the singer's strong feelings of love for his significant other.
Overall, the song's lyrics capture the emotions of someone falling in love and waking up with that love still on their mind.
