Here's a wonderful song that Anthony Newley sang, and it always reminds me how lucky I am---how lucky many of us are in this crazy and wonderful world:
On a wonderful day like today
I defy any cloud to appear in the sky
Dare any rain drop 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 everybody
I'm so full of love and goodwill
Let me say furthermore
I'd adore everybody to come and dine
The pleasure's mine and I will pay 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
ON A WONDERFUL DAY LIKE TODAY
From the London show
"The Roar Of The Greasepaint - The Smell Of The Crowd" (1965
(Leslie Bricusse / Anthony Newley)
We are blessed! Good lyrics!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great song! Watching a rerun of Lawrence Welk and ran across it. Had quite forgotten how refreshing it was. Anthony Newley will be desperately missed, especially in these troubled times. We need to be reminded to look up and be grateful.
