The Wonder of My Life

THE WONDER OF MY LIFE

Verse 1
‘The Great Wall of China’s’ amazing.
‘The Northern Lights’, such a view!
‘The Pyramids’ are breathtaking,
but none of them compare to you.

‘Sugarloaf Mountains’s’ stupendous.
‘The Leaning Tower’s’ untrue.
‘The Aztec Temple’s’ outstanding,
but none of them compare to you.

Chorus
You’ve the beauty of every great sunset,
each rainbow that colours the sky.
You’re the closest there is to perfection,
and the greatest wonder in life.

Verse 2
Well ‘The Copacabana’s’ fantastic,
and so too is ‘Machu Pichu.’
‘The Eiffel Tower’ is special,
but none of them compare to you.

Chorus
You’ve the beauty of every great sunset,
each rainbow that colours the sky.
You’re the closest there is to perfection,
and the greatest wonder in life.

Bridge
Fearfulness could spout out gold,
and thunderstorms heal sick and old.
Stars could perch on mountain peaks,
yet you would still be more unique.

Chorus
You’ve the beauty of every great sunset,
each rainbow that colours the sky.
You’re the closest there is to perfection,
and the greatest wonder in life.

You’ve the beauty of every great sunset,
each rainbow that colours the sky.
You’re the closest there is to perfection,
and the wonder I need in my life.

Thanks Lindsay. I have composed some melodies for my lyrics in the past but generally I work with other musicians. My wife is also a musician so she has put music to some of my lyrics too.
