Fall out of bed and catch a fading star

Fancy, I woke up before my alarm

Brought my mind through my eyes

It's the best I can do

Before it's automatic, hand it over, turn it to you

Though her 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

It must be something I did yesterday

Pour a cup of liquid gold

Because my engine's still cold

And 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

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 band of the earth

Take the plaque of the night from the dirt

I can see from the depths of my re-adjustinized reflection

Of yes's and that ever changing sky

But why do bad dreams linger long after I awake?

And I don't need no sins or violence or pain replayed

And I feel quit foolish sometimes when I pray

But my thoughts are all I've got

So I try to make them 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
