Doesn't Take a Whole Day - Foy Vance

When I first saw you baby

Something strange happened inside

Well my heart skipped a beat

But my blood raced in time

And I knew then and there

You would be part of my design

And I may be the only one to make you feel

Whole inside

Yet I knew within seconds you would be mine

Like my grandpa said

«Doesn't take a whole day to recognize sunshine.»

And I remember the smell

Of rain in your hair

And the view from the window

Everything looked so small from way up there

And the way they

Your weight on me walking down the stairs

And I don’t think I could ever forget

That careful, careless step

I could smell you’d been drinking

When you said «will you be mine?»

Like my grandpa said

«Doesn't take a whole day to recognize sunshine»

I can never take you or leave you baby

You can chew me body, soul and mind

There we were

On the stairs

With your skin pressed against mine

Though you led me astray baby

At the same time it was alright

When they say, «the wages of sin is death»

But that night we sure created new life, ooh

When I saw his face, all I could see was mine

Like my grandpa said

Doesn’t take a whole day, oh no baby

Doesn’t take a whole day, oh oh ooh baby

Doesn’t take a whole day--I knew right then and there

It doesn’t take a whole day--oh oh ooh baby

It doesn’t take a whole day

Doesn’t take a whole day--sing it with me babe

Doesn’t take a whole day to recognize sunshine
