lyrics

Wonderful World
©2000 Alice Bierhorst/BMI

Where have all the shadows of summer gone
The wakeful hour at dawn
Anticipation, Fourth of July
The beating wings of the firefly

CHORUS
Oh, what a WONDERFUL WORLD
For a boy and a girl
What a beautiful mourning
When the light finally fades

The magic lantern of leaves on fire
The gauzy veil of the pyre
Trip the light fantastic to glory days of old
The constellations are turning cole

CHORUS

All the little ponies buried in the snow
Their steamy heads barely show
All the world's an ocean frozen like a stone
A sweeter world lies below

CHORUS

The bitter roses of early Spring
Each breath seems to sting
A hidden blueprint suddenly reveals
The latest turn of the wheel

CHORUS
CHORUS
