Hello, You Beautiful Thing

Fall out of bed and catch a fading star

Fancy I woke up before my alarm

Rubbed my mind through my eyes, it's the best I can do

Before it's automatic habit of returnin' to you

Though I smile when it happens, almost as if it was magic

It means there's a God somewhere, and he's laughin'

And I shuffle my slipper-less 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

Wakin' up, I stretch my body and acknowledge them aches

Must be something I did yesterday

Pour a cup of liquid gold because my engine's still cold

But 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

And this is what I've been waitin' for (This is what I've been waitin' for)

And this is what I've been waitin' for (This is what I've been waitin' for)

Looking out from a cul de sac watching the bend of the Earth

Take the black of the night from the dirt

I can see from the depths of my readjustin' eyes

A reflection of yes's in that ever-changing sky

But why do bad dreams linger long after I awake?

I don't need no scenes of violence or pain replayed

And I feel quite foolish sometimes when I pray

But my thoughts are all I got, so I try to make em' 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 waitin' for (This is what I've been waitin' for)

Oh, this is what I've been waitin' for (This is what I've been waitin' for)

Oh, this is what I've been waitin' for (This is what I've been waitin' for)

Oh, this is what I've been waitin' for (Hello)

And I know, I know it's gonna be a good day

Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
