[Verse 1]
When I wake up in the morning, love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind

[Chorus]
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)

[Verse 2]
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way

[Chorus]
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)

[Verse 3]
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way

[Chorus]
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day)

William Harrison Withers, Jr., (July 4, 1938 – March 30, 2020), was a singer, songwriter, musician and producer who won three Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2015.

After 9 years in the Navy, Bill left the service and moved to Los Angeles in 1967 where self-financed demos eventually led him to Clarence Avant of Sussex Records who chose Booker T. Jones to produce his 1971 debut album, Just As I Am. This album produced the Grammy winning “Ain’t No Sunshine” and the classic “Grandma’s Hands”.

The 1972 follow-up album, Still Bill produced the iconic “Lean on Me” and “Use Me”.
