I wake up every morning with a smile on my face. Everything in it's place as it should be. I start out every morning just as free as the breeze. My cares upon the shelf.
Manhattan, Manhattan, Manhattan, Manhattan. Manhattan madness. You've got me at last. I'm like a fly upon a steeple. Watching seven million people. Do a rhythm.
Marie, Marie, Marie. . Marie, the dawn is breaking. Marie, (ooh, Marie) you'll soon be waking. To find you heart is aching. And tears, (and tears) will fall, (will fall) as you recall.
[Verse:]. Why worry when skies are gray. Why should we complain. Let's laugh at the cloudy day. Let's sing in the rain. Songwriters say the storm quickly passes.
Let's take an old fashioned walk, I'm just bursting with talk.. What a tale could be told if we went for an old fashioned walk.. Let's take a stroll through the park, down a lane where it's dark.
As you listen to the band don't you get a bubble?. As you listen to them play don't you get a glow?. If you step out on the floor. You'll forget your trouble.
There may be trouble ahead. But while there's music and moonlight (moonlight and music) and love and romance. Let's face the music and dance. Before the fiddlers have fled.
I love you, I love you, there is no other way,. Just one way to say, I love you.. I love you, I love you, and try as I may,. That's all I can say, I love you..
Ev'ry time. I see a puppy upon a summer's day. A puppy dog at play. My heart is filled with envy. That's because. My heart is yearning to pass the time away.
It only happens when I dance with you. That trip to heaven till the dance is through. With no one else do the heavens seem quite so near. Why does it happen, dear, only with you?.
It's a lovely day today. So whatever you've got to do. You've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true. . And I hope whatever you've got to do. Is something that can be done by two.
It's a lovely day tomorrow. Tomorrow is a lovely day. Come and feast your tear dimmed eyes. On tomorrow's clear blue skies. . If today your heart is weary.
[Verse:]. Brothers. And sisters. Listen. You non-believers, listen. You better start to believe. All you doubters. Be "hallelujah shouters". Or else you're going to grieve.
The weather is frightening,. The thunder and lightning. Seem to be having their way,. But as far as I'm concerned,. It's a lovely day.. . The turn in the weather.
Strange. How a dreary world can suddenly change. To a world as bright as the evening star. Queer. What a difference when your vision is clear. And you see things as they really are.
I've been a roaming Romeo. My Juliets have been many. But now my roaming days have gone. Too many irons in the fire. Is worse than not having any. I've had my share and from now on:.
The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing. But I can weather the storm. What do I care how much it may storm. I've got my love to keep me warm. . I can't remember a worse December.
Don't ask me just how it happened. I wish I knew. I can't believe that it's happened. And still it's true. . I got lost in his arms, and I had to stay.
As a child I went wild when a band played. How I ran to the man when his hand swayed. Clarinets were my pets and a slide trombone I thought was simply divine.
I guess there's nothing to do and nothing to say. But simply go on my way and call it a day. I guess I'm ready to go, right back on the shelf. Because at last I've learned where you're concerned.
