The Only Thing Missin'

Aretha Franklin


Ah...ooh...ooh...ooh...
Woke up this mornin’ to a perfect day
I opened my window, heard a sparrow say
Positive thoughts are runnin’ through my mind
Nothin’ is wrong, feelin’ real strong
‘Cause a new day is comin’
The sun is shining
No clouds in view
Lovers are holdin’ hands
The world’s brand new
Everybody’s smiling
Summer’s comin’ through
But the only thing that’s missing is you
I-I-I-I see your smile through your photograph
The thing that you said still makes me laugh
Deep inside I’m on the edge of tears
But I can’t be cryin’, sittin’ around sighin’
Just ‘cause you’re not here
The sun is shining (Sun is shining)
No clouds in view (Ooh, yeah)
Lovers are holdin’ hands
The world’s brand new
Everybody’s smiling
Summer’s comin’ through
But the only thing that’s missing is you
Baby, baby, show me what do you do when love is gone
You count your blessings and you move on
The sun is shining
No clouds in view (In view)
Lovers are holdin’ hands (Lovers are holdin’ hands)
The world’s brand new (The world’s brand new)
Everybody’s smiling (Everybody’s smiling)
Summer’s comin’ through (Summer’s comin’ on through)
But the only thing that’s missin’ is you
(Only thing that’s
missing, baby)
But the only thing that’s missing is you
