The Words
Rosemary Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're just too marvelous, too marvelous for words
Like glorious, glamorous and that old standby amorous
It's all too wonderful, I'll never find the words
That say enough, tell enough, I mean they just aren't swell enough

You're much too much and just too very, very
To ever be in Webster's Dictionary
And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous, too marvelous for words

You're much, you're too much and just too very, very
To ever be, to ever be in Webster's Dictionary
And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds




To tell you that you're marvelous, tell you that you're marvelous
Tell you that you're marvelous, too marvelous for words

was sure, that I'll
be the one I want
And I was sure'
I'll be the one you want

But I can't get holding on
From the words that I can keep

Tell me why...
what's wrong with me I want
to know
Tell me why...
I don't know

Can you see The world is
smiling and fall in love with
me
Can you see now???

Tell me why...
