[Verse 1]
Good morning world
How will today greet me
A single girl who needs a man
To love sweetly
A man to wrap his loving arms around me
Let me know that he's glad he's found me
I'll be his joy
[Chorus]
Come on heart
Let's search for the boy
He's out there waiting somewhere
Tell me will this be the day
He'll come my way
[Verse 2]
You know, I comb my hair
While I run my bath
And I wonder where
Will he cross my path
Will I see him at the corner bus stop
The art museum or the market where I shop
He'll catch my eye
[Chorus]
Come on heart
Let's go find the guy
He's out there waiting somewhere
Tell me will this be the day
Love will say
[Bridge]
Now is the time
Here is the place
This is the hand
Here is the face
This is the man
Who set the pace
Your heart is beating
[Verse 3]
By and by and by
I know my day will dawn
That day when I will know before it's gone
Hey, what it means to have found that someone
Who can make up two hearts become one
Love can be found
[Chorus]
Come on heart
Let's go look around
He's out there waiting somewhere
Tell me will this be the day
He'll come my way
[Outro]
Tell me that this is the day
I hope and pray
I hope and pray
That this will be the day
He'll come my way
Good morning world
