Doesn't Take a Whole Day Songtext
von Foy Vance

One, two, three and two, two, three

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
"It 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?"

But 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

Although 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, oh

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

Like my grandpa said
"It doesn't take a whole day", oh no baby
"It doesn′t take a whole day", oh, oh, ooh baby
"It doesn′t take a whole day", I knew right then and there, yeah
"It doesn't take a whole day", oh, ooh, baby
It doesn′t take a whole day
"It doesn't take a whole day", sing it with me, babe
"It doesn′t take a whole day to recognize sunshine"
