The  sec-ond I saw it I knew,__
I said to my-self, "A - ha!"____
I could tell at a glance 
That it was-n't by chance
That we hap-pen to be where we are.__

From the mo-ment I woke with the lark,__
We were both of us sing-ing a - way.__
And the sky was so blue, 
I in - stinc -tive-ly knew
we were  in for  a won-der-ful  day.__

As I came through the door,
As  I told you be - fore, 
I was ter-ri-bly temp-ted to say,

Chorus
On a won - der - ful day__ like to - day____
I de - fy an - y cloud___ to ap - pear in the sky,__
Dare an - y rain - drop to plop in my eye___ 
On  a  won - der - ful day___ like to - day.___

On a won - der - ful morn - ing like this____
When the sun is as big__ as a yel-low bal - loon.__
E-ven the spar - rows are sing-ing in tune___
On a won - der-ful morn - ing like this.___

On a morn-ing like this___ I could kiss ev-'ry - body - y
I'm  so full of love___ and good - will.___
Let  me say fur - ther - more____
I'd a - dore ev - 'ry - bod - y to come and dine.
The plea-sure's mine, and  I  will pay the bill.

May I take this oc - ca - sion  to say____
That the whole hu-man race__ should go down on its knees,__
Show that we're grate -ful for morn-ings like these, 
For the world's in a won - der - ful way,____
On a won - der - ful day_____ like  to - day.___
