Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning |
|
And the first thing that I heard |
|
Was the song outside my window |
|
And the traffic wrote the words |
|
It came ringing up like Christmas bells |
|
And rapping up like pipes and drums |
|
Won't you stay |
|
We'll put on the day |
|
And we'll wear it 'till the night comes |
|
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning |
|
And the first thing that I saw |
|
Was the sun through yellow curtains |
|
And a rainbow on the wall |
|
Red, green and gold to welcome you |
|
And crimson crystal beads to beckon |
|
Won't you stay |
|
We'll put on the day |
|
There's a sun shower every second |
|
(instrumental) |
|
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning |
|
And the first thing that I knew |
|
There was milk and toast and honey |
|
And a bowl of oranges, too |
|
And the light poured in like butterscotch |
|
And stuck to all my senses |
|
Won't you stay |
|
We'll put on the day |
|
And we'll talk in present tenses |
