Lyrics
Yesterday was a dull day
Yesterday was a gray day
But oh, today, today is a gay day
You ask me, darling, why?
And I answer
Refrain:
I am loved, I am loved
By the one I love in every way
I am loved, absolutely loved
What a wonderful thing to be able to say
I’m adored, I’m adored
By the one who first led my heart astray
I’m adored, absolutely adored
What a wonderful thing to be able to say
So ring out the bells and let the trumpets blow
And beat on the drums, for now I know
I know I am loved, I am loved
What a wonderful thing, what a glorious thing
What a beautiful thing to be able to say
