I want to thank you, pretty baby, for givin' your love to me
I want to thank you, pretty baby, for givin' your love to me
My heart was locked up till you came and set it free
I'm gonna love you, pretty baby, love you till the end of time
And I-I-I-I-I'm gonna love you, pretty baby, love you till the end of time
I wanna thank your folks for making you so divine
Thank you for your loving ways
Mmm-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh thank you 'cause you've been so kind
I'm gonna take my time and just thank you, honey
Because you're mine, all mine, all mine
I'm gonna kiss you in the morning and kiss you in the evening, too
And I-I-I-I-I'm gonna kiss you in the morning, kiss you in the evening, too
I'm gonna spend my life loving no one but you
I'm gonna spend my life loving no one but you

Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning
When through the sleepy haze I see her lying there
Soft as the rain that falls on summerflowers
Warm as the sunlight shining on her head
When I awake and see her there so close beside me
I want to take her in my arms,
The ache is there so deep inside me
Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning
Chasing the rainbow in her dreams so far away
And when she turns to touch me I kiss her fingers so softly
And then my Mary wake to love and love again
And Mary's there in summer days or stormy weather
She doesn't care how right or wrong the love we share,
We share together
Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the evening
Kissed by the shade of night and starlight in her hair
And as we walk, I hold her close beside me
All our tomorrows for a lifetime we will share
