Lordy Lyrics

Hey, Lord. 

 

 The night is friendly, 

 The stars are winkin', 

 My sleepy-headed baby's eyes are blinkin,' 

 I hold him in my arms and sit here thinking, 

 Lordy! What a sweet world. 

 

 The night is friendly, 

 With voices croonin', 

 And gals and fellows in the shadows spoonin', 

 And clouds that open up to let the moon in, 

 Lordy! What a sweet world. 

 

 Now, I ain't callin' this life perfect, 

 But I am thanking my maker above, 

 Because for everything 

 That you don't like, 

 There's a million little things that you love, oooh. 

 

 A bell is chimin', 

 To toll the hour, 

 The sky is dripping light on every livin' flower, 

 It like to drown us in a silver shower, 

 Lordy! What a sweet world. 

 

 I'm so happy, 

 Happy! 

 Happy to be livin', 

 Yes sir! 

 Livin' on a friendly night, 

 On a friendly night, 

 In a friendly world, 

 In a friendly world. 

 My heart is happy, 

 Thanks to the Lord!
