I'm happier than the morning sun
And that's the way you said that it would be
If I should ever bring you inside my life.

I'm happier than the morning sun
And that's the way you said that it would be
If I should ever bring you inside my life.

All my life I was alone,
Didn't think I'd find my part,
Now I see there's joy inside your arms.

Every day I searched for the star,
That never was in the sky,
And now I see this star is on earth.

And I'm happier than the morning sun
And that's the way you said that I would be -that's
what you told me yea
If I gave you a chance to come inside my life.

(I am) And I am happier than the morning sun
And that's the way it will always be -that's the way
it will always be
Ever since the day you came inside of my life.

Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom I love you.

Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom I love you.

Dum...

Dum...

Yea

And I'm happier than the morning sun
And that's the way you said that it would be -baby that's
what you told me yea
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
-bring you inside my life

I'm happier than the morning sun
And that's the way you said it would be
-woa that's what you said it would be
If I should ever bring you inside my life.

Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom bom bom bom

Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom I love you.

Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom

Bom bom bom I love you.

Happier than the morning sun
That's the way you said it would be
-baby that's what you told me yea
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
-bring you inside my life yea

I'm happier than the stars above
-yea the morning stars above
That's the way you said that it would be
-that's what you told me yea
If I should ever bring you inside of my life.

I believe that everyone should be
Happier than the morning sun
Happier than the morning sun
Happier than the morning sun
Happier than the morning sun
Happy happy, happy

Hmmm, this is right up there with the most maudlin of Paul McCartney's opus. Goes to show that not everything he does is genius. 



It's just you, really. 
New album "Through the Eyes of Wonder" coming soon in 2023.  Or so I hear.
Loving how he layered his vocals on this one,  sounds extra great on my desktop setup at medium volume. Gave it the 8 so I'll hear it in 'My Favourites'

Gone are the days when we bought and listened to real albums  and there was never a song we'd "never heard before."  
I've never heard this before - thanks, RP!

It is true that not everything Mr. Wonder has done, and continues to do, is genius. Same applies to Sir Paul - and some of their work together: 'Ebony and Ivory' anyone? 
But this IS genius. So it's not 'Along the Watchtower', so what? Simple and beautiful. Genius.

So true. I don't think I've ever heard this before. RP has turned me on to so many great artists, and to deep cuts from legends like Mr. Wonder.

No one is always genius. Some are mostly, many are never. I’ll take his genius any day.
