Lyrics:

She wakes up laughing
Like a sparkling stream
Not sure if she is seeing through
Her eyes or her dream
She makes the sun unhappy
That he can't shine the way she does for me

Frost is on the window
Breathe hangs in the air
Kept warm in each others arms
We lie without a care

This new feeling I've had since I met her
Oh tell me, is it love?

Baby baby, welcome to my life
You don't know how glad it makes me
Just to have you come and take my hand

Looking at her makes me fill with such delight
Spirits song recalls the love she gave to me last night
Hold on baby now I need you
Got to have you near me every day

Baby baby, welcome to my life
You don't know how glad it makes me
Just to have you come and take my hand
