Michael Feinstein - Too Marvelous For Words video free download

1937 Johnny Mercer Lyrics

=========LYRICS=======

[04 Second Intro]

I search for phrases

To sing your praises

But there aren't

Any magic adjectives

To tell you all you are!

(Pause)

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

Like adorable and amorous

And glorious and glamorous

They're insufficient

When applied to you

To be egotistical

To be eulogistical

I'd have to come up with

A million words

I never thought I knew

I try to be logical and sensible

But I'm incomprehensible

Whenever I begin

To find a phrase

But they never say enough

They never tell enough

And I've already told you

My vocabulary's not swell enough

What did I do to say

The things I have in mind

It's really absurd

There iss't a word

To fit you

No matter where I look

I only seem to find

Delectable, delirious,

Magnificently mysterious

You're simply too spectacular

To be in my vernacular

And so you see

I'm forced to go to the birds

The reason must be quite apparent

That you are just too utterly, utterly

Wonderful and marvelous for words

[MUSIC] in @ 2:34

You're just

Too marvelous

Too marvelous for words

Like rapturous, fabulous

Your voice is tintinnabulous

It's all too wonderful

And ordinary words

Like magical, mystical

Seems much to apothistical

The sweetest words

In Keats and Shelley's lyrics

Aren't sweet enough

To be your panegyrics.......

And so, I'm borrowing

A love song from the birds

To tell you

You're colossible

You've made my whole life possible

And too mar-vel-ous.......

For..... Words....(9Sec).......

[The End]
