The sun is up
And heaven’s in the sky
I could eat you for my breakfast
You know the reason why
The sun is up
And heaven’s in my eye
You’re my lunch and supper
My peachy apple-pie
The sun is up
And heaven’s in the sky
The sun is up
And heaven’s in my eye
Today’s the day I’ve waited for
Tomorrow’s just for fun
Yesterday has gone before
And the playing’s just begun
Today’s the day I’ve waited for
Tomorrow might be fun
Yesterday has gone and
Now I’m singing in the sun
I’ve been wading through treacle,
Lost in the mire,
Sailing on a slow boat,
Unbalanced on the high wire.
I’ve been caught in the doldrums,
Stuck in reverse.
Cut the nose off my face
Just to be perverse.
But my day has dawned
And tomorrow will run and run
Yesterday has gone
And the playing’s just begun
Today’s the day I’ve waited for
Tomorrow could be fun
Yesterday has gone and
Now I’m singing in the sun
The moon will rise
And heaven I will spy
I’ll find you in the starlight
You’re my reason why
The moon will rise
And in heaven I will lie
Let’s skip the light fandango
Turn cartwheels in the sky
The moon will rise
And heaven I will spy
The moon will rise
And in heaven I will lie
Tonight’s the night I’ve waited for
Tomorrow’s yesterday
A tiny taste of what’s in store
This moment can stay
Tonight’s the night I’ve waited for
The moon is in our eyes
A tiny taste of what’s in store
Turn cartwheels in the sky
The sun is up
And heaven’s in the sky
The sun is up
And heaven’s in my eye
