What a day this has been! What a rare mood I'm in! Why, it's almost like being in love There's a smile on my face For the whole human race Why it's almost like being in love All the music of life seems to be Like a bell that is ringing for me And from the way that I feel When the bell starts to peal I would swear I was falling I could swear I was falling It's almost like being in love
