Go Back

Mary In The Morning

Lyrics:

Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning
When through the sleepy haze I see her lying there
Soft as the rain that falls on summerflowers
Warm as the sunlight shining on her head

When I awake and see her there so close beside me
I want to take her in my arms,
The ache is there so deep inside me

Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning
Chasing the rainbow in her dreams so far away
And when she turns to touch me I kiss her fingers so softly
And then my Mary wake to love and love again

And Mary's there in summer days or stormy weather
She doesn't care how right or wrong the love we share,
We share together
br> Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the evening
Kissed by the shade of night and starlight in her hair
And as we walk, I hold her close beside me
All our tomorrows for a lifetime we will share

Mary in the Morning was written by Johnny Cymbal and Michael Rashkow and recorded by Al Martino (Capitol 5904) in 1967. Martino's recording topped the Easy-Listening chart and peaked at #27 on the Hot 100 chart. Later in 1967 Tommy Hunter had a moderate hit with Mary in the Morning (Del-Mar 1013) in the country field.

Elvis recorded Mary in the Morning on June 5, 1970, at RCA's Nashville studios. In the documentary Elvis – That's the Way It Is, he was filmed singing the song at the International Hotel in Las Vegas in August 1970. The soundtrack LP, however, featured the studio track, not the live version.
