[Verse 1]
Fall out of bed and catch a fading star
Fancy I woke up before my alarm
Rub my mind through my eyes, it's the best I can do
Before its automatic habit of returning to you
Though I smile when it happens, almost as if it was magic
It means there's a God somewhere and he's laughing
And I shuffle my slipperless toes to the kitchen
Still low to the ground, but high on living

[Chorus]
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing

[Verse 2]
Waking up, I stretch my body and acknowledge some aches
Must be something I did yesterday
Pour a cup of liquid gold, because my engine's still cold
But in a minute everything's gonna change

[Chorus]
Cause I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing

[Bridge]
And this is what I've been waiting for
(This is what I've been waiting for)
And this is what I've been waiting for
(This is what I've been waiting for)
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Looking out from a cul de sac, watching the bend of the Earth take the black of the night from the dirt
I can see from the depths of my readjustment eyes of reflection of yes's and that ever changing sky
But why do bad dreams linger long after I awake?
I don't need no scenes of violence or pain replayed
And I feel quite foolish sometimes when I pray
But my thoughts are all I've got so I try to make em' brave

[Chorus]
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
I say, hello, hello, you beautiful thing

[Bridge]
Oh this is what I've been waiting for
(This is what I've been waiting for)
(This is what I've been waiting for)
(This is what I've been waiting for)
(Hello)

[Chorus]
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
