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-adjustinize of 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 now this is what I've been waiting for
Oh 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
Hello

And I know, I know it's gonna be a good day
Hello, hello you beautiful thing
