A WONDERFUL THING

1

Until to-day this wor Id t.o me Seemed far from what a wor Id should be

Sometimes I heard its laughter gay, But oh it seemed so far away•

Until to-day I walked alone, There was no hand to take my own,

Until to-day I dreamed my dreams, Now they have all come true, it seems

REFRAIN A wonderful thrng has come into my life,

A beautiful, wonderful thing' My heart is a garden that wakens to find

It is Spring and a thousand birds sing! The wonder to me is that no one can see,

That the world doesn,t pause to peep in

When a wonderful thrng has come into my life, It's worth all the living to win'

2

If I had known the path to you I would have flown on wings, it,s true!

I would have sung along my way, Nor been so weary ev'ry day

Out of the shadows shines the sun, After the rain the flowers come,

And to the heart that waits alone Comes cv'rything a heart can own
