From the recording Old Songs, New Sentiments
Lyrics
It's Amazing
________________________________________
How do they make freeze-dried coffee
How does the butter come from the cream
It's Amazing, It's Amazing
How does the oxygen stay in the space shuttle
How does the honey come from the bee
It's Amazing, It's Amazing
Thoughts turn to words, like bright coloured pictures
Arrange themselves into truth
In my universe, today becomes tomorrow
And changes itself into youth
Don't ask me how, I really don't know
It's a miracle, God only knows
It's Amazing, It's Amazing
How does the writer write out his stories
How does the music end up on the page
It's Amazing, It's Amazing
When will my pencil get the lead out
So I can write out all of my songs
It's Amazing, It's Amazing
Thoughts turn to words, like bright coloured pictures
Arrange themselves into truth
In my universe, today becomes tomorrow
And changes itself into youth
Don't ask me how, I really don't know
It's a miracle, God only knows
It's Amazing, It's Amazing
It's Amazing, It's Amazing
It's Amazing, It's Amazing
Now I've witnessed the births of all of my daughters
Held them close, a few minutes old
It's Amazing, It's Amazing
Life travels round the eternal circle
I'll watch them grow old, and they'll see me die
It's Amazing, It's Amazing
Thoughts turn to words, like bright coloured pictures
Arrange themselves into truth
In my universe, today becomes tomorrow
And changes itself into youth
Don't ask me how, I really can't say
It's a miracle, Life's just that way
It's Amazing, It's Amazing
It's Amazing, It's Amazing
It's Amazing, It's Amazing
It's Amazing, It's Amazing
Well, how do they make freeze-dried coffee
