Lyrics
Who will buy this wonderful morning?
Such a sky you never did see
Who will tie it up with a ribbon
And put it in a box for me?
So I can see it at my leisure
Whenever things go wrong
And I would keep it as a treasure
To last my whole life long
Who will buy this wonderful feeling?
I’m so high, I swear I could fly
Me, oh, my, I don’t want to lose it
So what am I to do, to keep the sky so blue?
There must be someone who will buy
Who will buy this wonderful morning?
Such a sky you never did see
Who will tie it up with a ribbon
And put it in a box for me?
There’ll never be a day so sunny
It could not happen twice
Where is the man with all the money?
It’s cheap at half the price
Who will buy this wonderful feeling?
I’m so high, I swear I could fly
Me, oh, my, I don’t want to lose it
So what am I to do, to keep the sky so blue?
There must be someone who will buy
