[piano]

Thought that you were sleeping, til I saw your open eyes

It’s Auckland in the morning and I’m a morning guy

I say let us take a walk

it’s a chance to talk

We always have so many things to say

And we’ll get to chalk the first words

on the blackboard of today

Down at Mission Bay

[Choir]

When the sun comes up

The sea turns golden grey (mmmm mm)

We walk down to the beach at Mission Bay

[piano solo]

When we’re tired, squint-eyed and our thoughts collide

Making you and me jumble up inside

There’s an early morning light

That drags me at the place I wanna be

I need you in the mornings waking up next to me

[Choir]

When the sun comes up

The sea turns golden grey (mmmmm)

We walk down to the beach at Mission Bay

[long piano solo]

Thought you were sleeping, until I looked into your eyes

It’s Auckland in the morning and I’m a morning guy

I say let us take a walk

it’s a chance to talk

We always have so many things to say

And we’ll get to chalk the first words

on the blackboard of today

Down at Mission Bay

[Choir]

When the sun comes up

The sea turns golden grey

We walk down to the beach at Mission Bay

Ooooo ooooo

[Bridge]

Reflections of the water is the colour of the sky

I can see tomorrow and yesterday

In your eyes

At Mission Bay

Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

When the sun comes up

The sea turns golden grey

We walk down to the beach at Mission Bay

[piano solo]

Ooo ooo ooo
