Mother Nature's opened up the door To lots of things I never saw before It's a lovely, lovely world since I've met you Never did see everything lookin' so nice I just learned the meanin' of paradise It's a lovely, lovely world since I've met you Now the sun shines brighter And the skies are a little bit bluer And my little, old, rattle, trap Ford Coupe Even seems a little bit newer Well, my guitar stays a little better in tune The stars shine brighter, there's honey on the moon It's a lovely, lovely world since I've met you Ever since you cuddled in my embrace I've had more faith in the human race It's a lovely, lovely world since I've met you Now, I don't mind workin' and slavin' all day 'Cause I know tonight there'll be love to pay It's a lovely, lovely world since I've met you Everything seems natural and right Since the day I found you Everything looks rosy and shiny bright In the dreams I'm buildin' around you Used to think that miracles would never come true But now I'm happy 'cause I know they do It's a lovely, lovely world since I've met you
