Lyrics
Am I building something up
That really isn’t there?
Do I make a big romance
Of a small affair?
Should I be more practical
As friends would have me be?
Being practical is very hard for me
Refrain:
I wake up each morning
With a feeling in my heart
That today will be a very special day
I keep right on clinging
To that feeling in my heart
Till the winds of evening
Blow her dream away
Later on at bedtime
When my world has come apart
And I’m in my far from fancy negligee
With a piece of toast to munch
And a nice hot cup of tea
I begin to have a hunch
That tomorrow’s going to be
A very special day for me
