Herb Alpert - Chelsea Morning lyrics

Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning And the first thing that I heard Was a song outside my window And the traffic wrote the words It came ringing in like Christmas bells And rapping up like pipes and drums Oh, won't you stay we'll put on the day And we'll wear it 'till the night comes I woke up, it was a Chelsea morning And the first thing that I saw Was a sun through yellow curtains And a rainbow on the wall Blue, red, green, and gold to welcome you Crimson crystal beads to beckon Oh, won't you stay we'll put on the day There's a sun show every second Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today And the streets are paved with pa**ersby Pigeons fly, and papers lie Waiting to blow away I 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 sun poured in like bu*terscotch And stuck to all my senses Oh, won't you stay we'll put on the day And we'll talk in present tenses Now the curtain closes And the rainbow runs away I will bring you incense owls by night Candlelight, by j**el light If only you will stay I woke up, it was a Chelsea morning I woke up, it was a Chelsea morning I woke up, it was a Chelsea morning
