Jon and Roy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the morning, here with me
Yes I want you here, by my window
In the morning, here with me
I woke the other day and you were beside me
With your eyes shut so softly
Lying there looking so contented
By my window, in the morning
Oh right here, beside me
Yes I want you here, by my window
In the morning, here with me
I'm coming to get you, the only way that I know how to
I'm coming to get you, the only way that I know how to
I'm going to let lay us down here, on this bed
And take us to the place, that we ought to be
And it's oh so right tonight, yes
And you look so lovely, and I want you so
By my window, in the morning
Oh right here, beside me
Yes I want you here, by my window
In the morning, here with me
I want you, right here
In the morning sun, in the morning sun
Yes I want you, right here
In the morning sun, in the morning sun
