Seeing you today

Seeing you today
Makes all seem okay.
I’ve got the sun in my eyes
And that’s a surprise
Because outside it’s cloudy and grey...

(Chorus)
There’s a tune on my lips,
A swing to my hips,
And every sway seems to say
That seeing you today
Makes all seem okay.

There may be bumps and setbacks,
There may be potholes and cracks,
And the road go nowhere or I lose my way...

My car may be rusty and broken,
My sleep may be abruptly awoken
By the thought of the bills I have to pay... but

(Chorus)
There’s a tune on my lips,
A swing to my hips,
And every sway seems to say
That seeing you today
Makes all seem okay.

Oh, I’m tired of life’s dirty tricks,
I'm sick of bad news and politics,
And it’s a game I no longer want to play...

Oh I’ve been cranky and moody
And my mind’s befuddled and broody
And my thoughts are muddled and distrait... but

(Chorus)
There’s a tune on my lips,
A swing to my hips,
And every sway seems to say
That seeing you today
Makes all seem okay.

There’s a tune on my lips,
A swing to my hips,
And every sway seems to say
That seeing you today
Makes all seem okay.
It makes it all, makes it all, seem –
Definitely, completely, absolutely and wonderfully –
Oh so much more than okay!
