This is a marvelously beautiful world
Once in a lifetime world
A make-believe world
And I leave it all to you

The roaring of thunder
Rain on your skin
Your name in her slumber
With a sigh from deep within
The weight of a lover
Her head on your arm
The dawning of summer
The touch of a heart

This is a marvelously beautiful world
Once in a lifetime world
A make-believe world
And I’ll leave it all to you

The hug before travelling
The return of a smile
Young children playing
Like butterflies
Your best friend’s wedding
The birth of a child
A glimpse of a higher cause
Of something divine

Making love
Making love
Making love to your dear one in the night
Making love to your dear one in the night

This is a marvelously beautiful world
Once in a lifetime world
A make-believe world
And I’ll leave it all to you
