Isn't It A Wonder
Boyzone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a sign of the times girl
Sad songs on the radio
It's a sign of the times girl
As the leaves begin to go
But all these signs now
Showing on my face
Proving me wrong taking its place
And I pray to god
That there's more that we can do yeah
And I pray to God
That there's more we can show
More than we can do yeah.

Isn't it a wonder as a new baby cries
And isn't it a wonder with the sweetness in my eyes
Isn't it a wonder, on the crossroads of my life
Isn't it a wonder, isn't it a wonder to me?

Oh oh, yeah oh

It's the way of the world when
Wrong takes hold of right
It's the way of the world
In which we've all lost sight
But isn't this world too simple to be true
Holding on to memories of you.

And I pray to god
That there's more that we can do, yeah
And I pray to God
That there's more we can show
More than we can do, yeah.

Isn't it a wonder, as a newborn baby cries
And isn't it a wonder with the sweetness in my eyes
Isn't it a wonder, at the crossroads of my life
Isn't it a wonder, isn't it a wonder

That I can see a change in me
But I won't go back 'cause that's behind me
And after all strong words are spoken
My heart will never be, never be, never be

Isn't it a wonder, as a new born baby cries
And isn't it a wonder with the sweetness in my eyes
Isn't it a wonder, at the crossroads of my life
Isn't it a wonder, isn't it a wonder

That I can see a change in me
But I won't go back, 'cause that's behind me




And after all strong words are spoken
My heart will never be, never be, never be.

I was an American adult woman living in Malta in the 90s. MTV was one of several British channels I used to watch & I watched it all the time. I still love the music from that time, esp. Boyzone. It's 2023 and I honestly believe I love their songs more than ever - all these years later.
