Chelsea Morning

Neil Diamond


One, two
One, two, three, four 

Woke up, it was a Chelsea mornin'
And the first thing that I heard 
Was the song outside my window
And the traffic wrote the words 
It came ringin' up like Christmas bells
And rappin' up like pipes... and drums...

Won't you stay 
We'll put on the day 
And we'll wear it 'til the night comes 

Woke up, it was a Chelsea mornin'
And the first thing that I saw 
Was the sun through yellow curtains
And a rainbow on my 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 

Woke up, it was a Chelsea mornin'
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 se...enses...

Won't you stay 
We'll put on the day 
And we'll talk in present tenses
