Wonderful, Wonderful!

Words & Music by Ben Raleigh & Sherman Edwards
Recorded by Johnny Mathis, 1957 (#14)


 A6            D6           A6       D6
Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea

 A6     D6             A6
And we breathe in the cool, salty air;

 D6         G6        D6            G6
You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes,

        D    Bm7-5   Fdim(III) Fdim     Dm6
And my heart feels a  thrill  beyond compare.

          F#m           F#m7
Then your lips cling to mine,

     Bm7       Fdim         Dm6  A      B7    Bm7-5    Fdim   E7
It's wonderful, won - der - ful, oh, so won-der-ful my love.


 A6            D6         A6       D6
Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill

 A6                 D6           A6
And we gaze at the earth and the sky;

D6        G6            D6         G6
I turn to you, and you melt in my arms;

           D   Bm7-5  Fdim(III) Fdim    Dm6
There we are, darling, only      you and I,

       F#m       F#m7
What a moment we share,

       Bm7      Gdim    Dm6   A      B7           A    Bm  Cdim   A
It's wonderful, won-der-ful, oh, so wonderful my love.


Bridge:

     DM7       D6     Em7        A7           D
The world is full of won'drous things, it's true,

          F#m7              D6       B7     E7
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you.



 A6         D6         A6          D6
Some quiet evenings I sit by your side

           A6       D6           A6
And we're lost in a world of our own;

D6           G6         D6       G6
I feel the glow of your unspoken love,

D   Bm7-5        Fdim(III) Fdim   Dm6
I'm aware of the treasure  that I own;

      F#m       F#m7
And I say to myself,

       Bm7       Fdim    Dm6   A      B7           A      D9
"It's wonderful, won-der-ful, oh, so wonderful my love."


Coda:

  F#m      F#m7         Bm7       Gdim     Dm6
I say to myself, " It's wonderful, won-der-ful,

A   D   B7       E7   A
Oh, so wonderful my love."
