I’m through with busy to and fro days
I’ve left the city far behind
The only days I need are slow days
Since you’ve been on my mind

Lazy day, with you to dream about
Lazy day, with you to scheme about
I’m watching the clouds go by
Watching the blue in the sky

Lazy day, I’ll dream for hours of you
Lazy day, I’ll tell the flowers of you
I’m whispering to the breeze
Carving your name on trees

Now I’ll stay, falling asleep
Counting those sheep all day
You may happen along
Singing a song that way

Lazy day, if you could care for me
Lazy day, if you were there for me
We’d love all the hours away
All through the lazy day

(Piano interlude)

Lazy day, if you could care for me
Lazy day, if you were there for me
We’d love all the hours away
All through the lazy day
