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
