You make Monday morning
cheerful and so bright!
Brighter than a diamond ring!
Yeah!
Talking like a singing bird,
my spirits rise!
Rise like a morning sun!
In the rain I think about

you and your smile!
So that in the darkest night
I find!
In the wind I think about
you and your smile!
Even in the hottest sun!
I love you! Yes,

I want to kiss your hand!
I love you! Yes,

I want to kiss your hand!
You give me energy for
my life and dreams!
Make me want to do my best!

Saying nothing but
you are smiling all the time!
With the best of health!
It is much more gorgeous
than a DIAMOND RING!
Graceful like a star
first shining!
It is much more gorgeous
than a GOLDEN CROWN!
Graceful like a wind

You give me good energy!
I wish I could give you more
All I want to tell you is...
