Early morning into afternoon
I'm waiting for you
Waiting for you to get up
I sit up, I don't know what to do
But I've got a lovely view from here
Lazy days the lovely ways of you
I'm telling the truth
'Cause I'm well into you
And I can't decide, and it's blowing my mind if I
Had the time of my life last night
'Cause I'm so tired of love hesitating
It's got me hanging around
And we're so close together
But won't get any better
'Till your open eyes say your mine
'Cause I've seen the light come in through the white blinds
As you pull the covers in over your eyes
You can't to get back to the moonlight
And you feel the breeze come in through the window
I'm gonna lean on over quiet and whisper
"Staying in bed is the good life"
So I'll move a little closer, try to make the most of this
And I'll be damned if I don't leave without a kiss
You're the creation of my frustration
And the result of my temptation
So wake up baby, let's start the day right now
Wake up baby let's start the day right now
'Cause I'm so tired of love hesitating
It's got me hanging around
And we're so close together
But won't get any better
'Till your open eyes say your mine
'Cause I've seen the light come in through the white blinds
As you pull the covers in over your eyes
You can't to get back to the moonlight
And you feel the breeze come in through the window
I'm gonna lean on over quiet and whisper
"Staying in bed is the good life"
As I feel you roll beside me
Those little sweet nothings are giving me something worth while
'Cause I've seen the light come in through the white blinds
As you pull the covers in over your eyes
You can't to get back to the moonlight
And you feel the breeze come in through the window
I'm gonna lean on over quiet and whisper
"Staying in bed is the good life"
