Wake Me Up Gently

In the early mornin’
When the sun is creepin’
Into my bedroom while I’m still sleepin’
I know you’ll be tempted to try and wake me up
I’ll have a heart attack if that alarm sounds
If you pour water on me, I’m apt to drown
To shake the bed is like to send me into shock

*chorus: You gotta wake me up gently
Wake me up slow
Wake me up like a mellow love song
On the radio
Well, I never did like sudden starts
You know they
Hurt yours eyes and break your heart
Wake me up gently
Wake me slow

Well I once knew a lady with yellow hair
Who slept like a log and roared like a bear
Perchance you should meet her when she woke
Well I don’t know where she’s living now
Who shares her bed
Who make her smile
But whoever you are there’s something you should know
*
Well I can see by the glow in the moonlight
That you are also a creature of the night
So take a chance and run with me a while
Well I don’t always act just like I should
But I’ve been told by some I’m very good
I run through the night like a nova star gone wild
