Whenever I see You

This lovely morning
I get up before you
slip into my slippers and
move over to the bathroom then
Throw some water on my top
and I comb my tousled mop
push some wrinkles from my face
and twinkle in the morning grace

(Chorus)
But just when I see YOU
The sun shines in a brighter hue
Just when I see YOU
The sun shines in a brighter hue
Quietly slumbering you still lie in bed
Dreaming the last dream 
and then you're turning around

This lovely morning
It smells for breakfast in the air
The coffee maker is booming
the eggs are bubbling on the stove
It starts to be a perfect day
All my trouble is far away
I hear you rumbling in the bath
Drowsy looking for your path

(Chorus)
Whenever I see YOU
The sun shines in a brighter hue
Whenever I see YOU
The sun shines in a brighter hue
You sit beside me at the breakfast rack
You crack your egg
and sleepy blinking you lean back

(Instrumental)

This lovely morning
I put the paper down
For the magic moment
Which for us is so well known
When our eyes are meeting now
And our lips are kissing now
And my heart loudly beats for you
and I'm so happy

(Chorus)
And when I see YOU
The sun shines in a brighter hue
When I see YOU
The sun shines in a brighter hue
When I see YOU
When I see YOU
(Fade out)

Jo and me were discussing quite a while about these lyrics. He was trying to write carefree lines describing a perfect morning, considering this to be very challenging. When I sarcastically replied that every single pop song is describing a perfect idyl, he wasn't impressed at all. And so here comes the first Abendblau-pop song!        Achim

This song was a true challenge for the band. Achim's melody had such a joyful mood that I imagined love, breakfast, coffee aroma. I made it for the first time to write a purely positive text without the usual misery. But Achim was missing the socio-critical aspect at the end ;-)
