Fall out of bed and catch a fading star Fancy I woke up before my alarm Rub my mind through my eyes It's the best I can do Before it's automatic, habit of returning to you Though I smile when it happens, almost as if it was magic It means there's a God somewhere and he's laughing And I shuffle my slipper less toes to the kitchen Still low to the ground, but high on living And I know, I know, it's going to be a good day Hello, hello, you beautiful thing Waking up, I stretch my body and acknowledge the makes It must be something I did yesterday Pour a cup of liquid gold, because my enginge's still cold But in a minute everything's gonna change 'Cause I know, I know, it's going to be a good day Hello, hello, you beautiful thing Hello, hello, you beautiful thing This is what I've been waiting for (this is what I've been waiting for) This is what I've been waiting for (this is what I've been waiting for) Looking out from a cul de sac watching the bend of the Earth Take the black of the night from the dirt I can see from the depths of my readjusting eyes A reflection of yes' in that ever changing sky But why do bad dreams linger long after I awake? I don't need no scenes of voilence or pain replayed And I feel quite foolish sometimes when I pray But my thoughts are all I got so I try to make them brave And I know, I know, it's going to be a good day Hello, hello, you beautiful thing Hello, hello, you beautiful thing Oh this is what I've been waiting for (this is what I've been waiting for) Oh this is what I've been waiting for (this is what I've been waiting for) Oh this is what I've been waiting for (this is what I've been waiting for) Oh this is what I've been waiting for (Hello) And I know, I know, it's going to be a good day Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
