Something Spectacular

Lonely day, dreary day,
Cloudy and cold, stubbornly gray...
Childhood dreams say they'll stay;
But they change their minds and fly away.
Then it happens, and I can't believe my eyes!
It's familiar, but it's always a surprise.

Something wonderful
Floods my soul with a joy I can't explain.
Something marvelous
Overwhelms and overrides the mundane.
The world yields to a realm brand new.
I'm lifted by the very thought of you;
It's something spectacular.

Gusty wind won't explain
Why it unnerves my windowpane.
Bashful sun shines in vain;
It cannot compete with the hard rain.
Then I wake up, and I can't believe my eyes!
All is well, now; storms have yielded to blue skies.

Something wonderful
Floods my soul with a joy I can't explain.
Something marvelous
Overwhelms and overrides the mundane.
The world yields to a realm brand new.
I'm lifted by the very thought of you;
It's something spectacular.

[instrumental interlude]

Then it happens, and I can't believe my eyes!
It's familiar, but it's always a surprise.

The world yields to a realm brand new.
I'm lifted by the very thought of you;
It's something wonderful.
It's something marvelous.
It's something spectacular.
