Hello, You Beautiful Thing

Fall out of bed and catch a fading star Fancy I woke up before my alarm Rubbed 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 slipperless toes to the kitchen Still low to the ground But high on living And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day Hello, hello, you beautiful thing Waking up, I stretch my body and acknowledge some aches Must be something I did yesterday Pour a cup of liquid gold, because my engine's still cold But in a minute everything's gonna change 'Cause I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day Hello, hello, you beautiful thing Hello, hello, you beautiful thing And this is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for) And 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's and that ever changing sky But why do bad dreams linger long after I awake? I don't need no scenes of violence or pain replayed And I feel quite foolish sometimes when I pray But my thoughts are all I've got So I try to make 'em brave And I know, I know, it's gonna 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 gonna be a good day Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
