Wonderful Wonderful
Johnny Mathis feat. Ray Conniff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes we walk, hand in hand by the sea
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

Sometimes we stand, on the top of a hill
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 hold
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"
