[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning to a perfect day
I opened my window, heard a sparrow say (twee-dee-dee-dee)
Positive thoughts are running through my mind
Nothing is wrong, feeling real strong
'Cause a new day is dawning
[Chorus]
The sun is shining, no clouds in view
Lovers are holding hands, the world's brand new
Everybody's smiling, summer's coming through
But the only thing that's missing is you
(Only thing that's missing is you)
[Verse 2]
I see your smile through your photograph
(through your photograph)
The thing that you said still makes me laugh
Deep inside, I'm on the edge of tears
But I can't be crying, sitting around sighing
Just 'cause you're not here
[Chorus]
The sun is shining, no clouds in view
Lovers are holding hands, the world's brand new
Everybody's smiling, summer's coming on through
But the only thing that's missing is you
(Only thing that's missing is you)
[Bridge]
Baby, baby, show me what do you do, when love is gone
You count your blessings and you move on (and you move on)
No, I ain't lonely, this ain't no sad song
There's just one contradiction, I can't stand to be alone
[Chorus]
The sun is shining, no clouds in view
Lovers are holding hands, the world's brand new
Everybody's smiling, summer's coming through
But the only thing that's missing is you
(Only thing that's missing is you)
The sun is shining, no clouds in view
Lovers are holding hands, the world's brand new
Everybody's smiling, summer's coming through
But the only thing that's missing is you
(Only thing that's missing is you)
[scatting]
But the only thing that's missing is you
(Only thing that's missing is you)
