Too Marvelous for Words

The George Shearing Trio was a jazz group led by British pianist George Shearing. Formed in the late 1940s, the trio achieved widespread success in the 1950s and 1960s with their distinctive blend of swing and bebop. Shearing's intricate yet accessible piano playing, along with the solid rhythm section provided by bassist John Levy and drummer Denzil Best (later replaced by Joe Roland and then Warren Chiasson), created a smooth and melodic sound that appealed to both jazz aficionados and mainstream audiences.

You're just too marvelous, too marvelous for words
Like glorious, glamorous and that old standby amorous
It's all too wonderful, I'll never find the words
That say enough, tell enough, I mean they just aren't swell enough

You're much too much and just too very, very
To ever be in Webster's Dictionary
And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous, too marvelous for words

You're much, you're too much and just too very, very
To ever be, to ever be in Webster's Dictionary
And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous, tell you that you're marvelous
Tell you that you're marvelous, too marvelous for words
