Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning And the first thing that I heard Was the song outside my window And the traffic wrote the words It came ringing up like Christmas bells And rapping up like pipes and drums
Won't you stay We'll put on the day And we'll wear it 'till the night comes
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning And the first thing that I saw Was the sun through yellow curtains And a rainbow on the wall Red, green and gold to welcome you And crimson crystal beads to beckon
Won't you stay We'll put on the day There's a sun shower every second (instrumental) Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning And the first thing that I knew There was milk and toast and honey And a bowl of oranges, too And the light poured in like butterscotch And stuck to all my senses
Won't you stay We'll put on the day And we'll talk in present tenses
