Hello, You Beautiful Thing
Fall out of bed and catch a fading starFancy I woke up before my alarmBrought my mind through my eyesIt's the best I can doBefore it's automatic, hand it over, turn it to youThough her smile when it happened, almost as if it was magicIt means there's a god somewhere and he's laughingAnd I shuffle my slipperless toes to the kitchenStill low to the ground, but high on living
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good dayHello, hello, you beautiful thing
Waking up, I stretch my body and acknowledge some achesIt must be something I did yesterdayPour a cup of liquid gold, because my engine's still coldBut in a minute everything's gonna change
'Cause I know, I know, it's gonna be a good dayHello, hello, you beautiful thingHello, hello, you beautiful thing
This is what I've been waiting for(This is what I've been waiting for)This is what I've been waiting for(This is what I've been waiting for)
Looking out from a cul de sac watching the band of the EarthTake the plaque of the night from the dirtI can see from the depths of my readjustinizeOf reflection of yes's and that ever changing skyBut why do bad dreams linger long after I awake?I don't need no scenes of violence or pain replayedAnd I feel quite foolish sometimes when I prayBut my thoughts are all I've got so I try to make them brave
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good dayHello, hello, you beautiful thingHello, hello, you beautiful thing
Oh, this is what I've been waiting for(This is what I've been waiting for)Oh, this is what I've been waiting for(This is what I've been waiting for)Oh, this is what I've been waiting for(This is what I've been waiting for)Oh, this is what I've been waiting for(Hello)
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good dayHello, hello, you beautiful thing...
