Wonderful
Ethan Lipton and his Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we breathe in the cool salty air
You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare
Then your lips cling to mine
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
And we gaze at the earth and the sky
I turn to you and you melt in my arms
There we are, darling, only you and I
What a moment to share
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
The world is full of wondrous things it's true
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you
Some quiet evening I sit by your side
And we're lost in a world of our own
I feel the glow of your unspoken love
I'm aware of the treasure that I own
And I say to myself
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
And I say to myself
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
The lyrics of Ethan Lipton and his Orchestra's song "Wonderful" express the depth and beauty of love shared by two people.

The use of various senses throughout the song, such as breathing in salty air, gazing at the earth and sky, and feeling the glow of unspoken love, help paint vivid pictures of the moments shared between the couple. The repetition of the phrase "It's wonderful, wonderful, Oh, so wonderful, my love" throughout the song emphasizes the depth and strength of their feelings for each other.

Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea
At times we stroll next to each other on the beach
And we breathe in the cool salty air
Inhaling the refreshing sea breeze
You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes
You give me a loving look with a hint of a kiss
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare
My heart beats exhilaratingly like never before
Then your lips cling to mine
Then your lips embrace mine tightly
It's wonderful, wonderful
It's indescribably great
Oh, so wonderful, my love
Oh, so amazing, my beloved
Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill
At times we stand on a hill's summit
And we gaze at the earth and the sky
And we marvel at the beauty of the ground and the heavens
I turn to you and you melt in my arms
I face you and you snuggle in my embrace
There we are, darling, only you and I
There we exist, my love, solely as one
What a moment to share
What an experience to partake in together
It's wonderful, wonderful
It's incredibly marvelous
Oh, so wonderful, my love
Oh, so incredibly amazing, my beloved
The world is full of wondrous things it's true
The globe is filled with magnificent phenomena, it's true
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you
However, those phenomena wouldn't have any significance without you
Some quiet evening I sit by your side
On some peaceful night, I sit beside you
And we're lost in a world of our own
And we're engrossed in our own world
I feel the glow of your unspoken love
I sense the radiance of your silent affection
I'm aware of the treasure that I own
I realize the invaluable possession that I have
And I say to myself
And I speak to myself
It's wonderful, wonderful
It's unbelievably wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
Oh, so incredibly magnificent, my beloved
And I say to myself
And I remind myself
It's wonderful, wonderful
It's amazingly wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
Oh, so wonderfully amazing, my beloved
