WHEN SOMEBODY THINKS YOU'RE WONDERFUL
Harry MacGregor Woods  1935

as rec by Thomas "Fats" Waller & his Rhythm  
Nov 29th 1935 New York


When somebody thinks you're wonderful,
What a difference in your day!
Seems as though your troubles disappear,
Like a feather in your way.

When somebody thinks you're wonderful,
Tells you with a smile so sweet,
What are little stones you're stepping on?
Just a meadow 'neath your feet!

And how you meet the mornin',
You gaily swing along!
At night you may be weary,
But your heart still sings a song!

When somebody thinks you're wonderful,
Love is mighty close to you!
Just another thing more wonderful,
Makin' all your dreams come true!

Oh, somebody done told you you's wonderful, huh!
Difference in the day, I see that now!
All you troubles soon disappear, ha-ha!
Ain't no feathers in your way now, huh!

Yeah, tell me more!  Tell me more!
Give me m ore of that smile, yes!
Ain't them stones you're steppin' upon?  Ah!
Well alright!

Oh how you meet the mornin',
You gaily swing along!
At night you may be weary,
But your heart still sings a song!

When somebody thinks you're wonderful,
Love is mighty close to you!
Just another thing more wonderful,
Makin' all your dreams come true,
Well alright then!
