I'm Glad There Is You
サラ・ヴォーン & Clifford Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A feeling result of confusion
With knowing smile and blazing sigh
A cynical so and so as I
I feel so sure, so positive
So utterly, unchangingly certain
That I never was aware of loving you
In this world of ordinary people
Extraordinary people
I'm glad there is you
In this world of over-rated pleasures
Of under-rated treasures
I'm glad, there is you
I live to love
I love to live with you beside me, beside me, beside me
This role so new
I'll muddle through with you to guide me
In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
More than ever, I'm glad, there is you
I live to love
I love to live with you beside me
This role so new
I'll muddle through with you to guide me
In this world where many, many play at love, play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
More than ever, I'm glad, there's you

It was not until I suddenly realized that love exists between us that I understood our relationship.

We live in a world of normal and average people.
Extraordinary people
But among them, we are special and unique.

I am grateful that you exist and are a part of my life.
In this world of over-rated pleasures
There are many things in life that are hyped up and not as great as they seem.

Said I many times
Love is allusion
A feeling result of confusion
With knowing smile
And blase sigh
A cynical so-and-so was I
I feel so sure
So positive
So utterly unchangingly certain
That I never was aware
Of loving you
'Til suddenly I realized
There was love and you
And I
In this world
Of ordinary people
Extraordinary people
I'm glad there is you
In this world
Of overrated pleasures
Of underrated treasures
I'm glad there is you
I live to love
I love to live with you
Beside me
Beside me
Beside me
This role so new
I'll muddle through
With you to guide me
In this world
Where many, many
Play at love
And hardly any
Stay in love
I'm glad there is you
More than ever
I'm glad there is you

Anyone still listening in 2019? Ugh this song is so beautiful
@masonjar333
Yes. This song was one of my favorites a few decades ago. Just found it again... wish I could see her singing it! BTW, I'm a 60 y/o guy from West Tennessee.
@AmeliaMaud
Are you kidding? One of my top 5 favorite songs, by my all-time favorite vocalist at her best, and with Clifford and amazing side men? It's 2020 now, and I'm still listening! Brings tears to my eyes nearly every time. I'll be listening as long as I'm still here and it's still posted.
