Too Marvellous For Words
Sinatra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Sinatra's song Too Marvellous For Words is a jubilant and up-tempo love song that describes the indescribable beauty of the person he's singing to. The song is about how the subject of the song is too wonderful for words and how it's impossible to find the right words to describe this person's incredible beauty. The song opens with Sinatra emphasizing how the person he's singing to is "just too marvelous, too marvelous for words." He goes on to describe the person as "glorious" and "glamorous" and even "amorous" - an old and standby phrase for love.
As the song progresses, Sinatra becomes more and more frustrated as he tries to find the right words to describe his lover's beauty. He says that "it's all too wonderful" and that he'll "never find the words that say enough, tell enough." He even goes so far as to say that the words he can think of "just aren't swell enough." In an attempt to accurately describe the subject's beauty, Sinatra borrows a love song from the birds.
Sinatra's lyrics are a great example of how words are too limited to accurately describe some of the most intense emotions we experience in life. The song speaks to the frustration we can feel when we try to find the right words to describe someone or something we love deeply. The song's upbeat melody and upbeat lyrics then make it a joyous celebration of love.
