A Quiet Thing / There Won't Be Trumpets Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

When it all comes true 

Just the way you planned 

It's funny but the bells don't ring 

It's a quiet thing. 

When you hold the world 

In your trembling hand. 

You think you'd hear a choir singing 

But it's a quiet thing. 

There are no exploding fireworks 

Where's the roaring of the crowds 

Maybe it's the strange new atmosphere 

Way up here among the clouds

There won't be trumpets or balls of fire 

To say he's coming, 

No Roman candles, no angel's choir 

No sound of distant drumming, 

He may not be the cavalier 

Tall and graceful, fair and strong, 

Doesn't matter just as long as he 

Comes along 

But not with trumpets or lightning flashing 

Or shining armor, 

He may be daring, he may be dashing 

Or maybe he's a farmer, 

I can wait, what's another day? 

He has lots of hills to climb 

And a hero doesn't come till 

The nick of time 

Don't look for trumpets or whistles tooting 

To guarantee him, 

There won't be trumpets, but sure as shooting 

You'll know him when you see him 

Don't know when, don't know where, 

I can't even say that I care 

All I know is the minute you turn 

And he's suddenly there 

You won't need trumpets 

There are no trumpets 

Who needs trumpets? 

Happiness comes in on tiptoe 

Well what d'ya know 

It's a quiet thing 

A very quiet thing
