Wondrous Thing Songtext

von Thea Gilmore

The moment you came
The stars didn't sing your name
And the heavens didn't shed their skin
Smallest of things
Bravest of offerings
The way that a love begins
They're gonna try to break it
Try to make you forsake it oh
Leave it in the dark
They'll say there's nothing in it
Make you a sleepless cynic oh
But if you feel its mark
Just raise it on high
Don't let them tell you their lies
Oh love is a wondrous thing.

A hopeless disguise
Hiding behind your eyes
And a thousand points of view
It lands like a fist
Whoever the optimist
Whoever the ingénue
I know the havoc it wreaks
I've heard the tongues that it speaks oh
It will not be shamed
But it is a beautiful bruise
You know you've got nothing to loose oh
If it calls your name
Just raise it on high
Don't let the light pass you by
Oh love is a wondrous thing.

People often talk about it
So many live their lives without it
Oh you know it's true
But I tell you if you find it
You'll bless the devils who designed it
Oh I say to you.
Just raise it on high
Don't let the light pass you by
Oh love is a wonderous thing
Yeah love is a wonderous thing.
