A Wonderful Day Like Today 1964 Vs2

The second I saw it I knew,
I said to myself, "AHa!"
I could tell at a glance
that it wasn't a chance,
that we happened to be
where we are.
From the moment
I woke with the lark,
we were both of us
singing away.
And the sky was so blue,
I instinctively knew,
we were in for a wonderful day.
As I came through the door,
as I told you before,
I was terribly tempted to say.
On a wonderful day like today,
I defy any cloud to appear in the sky.
Dare any raindrop to plop in my eye,
on a wonderful day like today.
On a wonderful morning like this,
when the sun is as big as a yellow balloon,
even the sparrows are singing in tune,
on a wonderful morning like this.
On a morning like this,
I could kiss ev'rybody,
I'm so full of love and goodwill.
Let me say furthermore
I'd adore ev'rybody to come and dine,
the pleasure's mine,
and I will foot the bill.
May I take this occasion to say,
that the whole human race
should go down on its knees,
show that we're grateful
for mornings like these,
for the world's in a wonderful way,
on a wonderful day like today.
