Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful All you have to do is touch my hand To show me you understand And something happens to me That's some kind of wonderful Any time my little world is blue I just have to look at you And every thing seems to be some kind of wonderful I know I can't express this feeling of tenderness There's so much I wanna say But the right words just don't come my way I just know when I'm in your embrace This world is a happy place And something happens to me That's some kind of wonderful I know I can't express this feeling of tenderness There's so much I wanna say But the right words just don't come my way I just know when I'm in your embrace This world is a happy place And something happens to me That's some kind of wonderful
