Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're just too marvelous
Too marvelous for words
Like glorious
Glamorous
And that old standby amorous
[Verse 2]
It's all too wonderful
I'll never find the words
That say enough
Tell enough
I mean they just aren't swell enough
[Verse 3]
You're much too much
And just too very, very
To ever be in Webster's dictionary
[Verse 4]
And so, I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous
Too marvelous for words
[Verse 5]
You're much too much
And just too very very
To ever be in Webster's dictionary
[Verse 6]
And so, I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous
Too marvelous for words
Written by: Johnny Mercer, Richard A. Whiting
