This rather cloying romantic song is sung by Ellen Bowen (Jane Powell) to her love interest, Lord John Brindale (Peter Lawford).
I wake up with the sun each morning
Happy the night's gone by
I wake up and pray each morning
Pray that the day will fly
And then I sit back and smile
And dream of that day when
I'll be standing by your side, my love
The happiest day of my life
How my heart will swell with pride, my love
The happiest day in a lifetime
Then as the last words are spoken
The bells in the steeple will chime
And I will love you so and you will see
It will be for a lifetime
The Happiest Day of My Life was written by Burton Lane & Alan Jay Lerner.
Jane Powell released The Happiest Day of My Life on Mon Jan 01 1951.
