I've been waking up every morning 

Not one ray of sunshine through my pane 

I've been sleeping wrapped warm in sadness, yeah 

Not a smile upon my face 

Until one day 

Glad day 

That you came along 

I've been singing this song 

Trying to chase the frown away



Hear me singing now, sadness 

I can't be with you 

I don't need your hand no more 

Laughter, I'd like to be with you 

Why don't you come knocking, knocking 

Knocking at my door



Oh I'd like to spend a little time, baby 

By your fire 

I'd like to spend a little time, baby 

By your door 

And if he calls me, smile on baby 

I'll come running, oh yeah yeah 

Just to spend a little time, baby 

By your door
