This is not a day like any other day.
This is something special and apart.
Something to remember when the coldness of December
Chills my heart.

Something very strange is happening to me.
Ev'ry face I see seems to be smiling.
All the sounds I hear, the buses changing gear
Suddenly appear to be beguiling.
Nobody is melancholy. Nobody is sad.
Not a single shadow on the sea.
Some magician's spell has made this magic start.
I feel I want to hold each shining moment in my heart.
Something strange and gay on this enchanted day
Seems to be happening to me.

Something very strange is happening to me.
Ev'ry cat I see seems to be purring.
I can clearly tell in ev'ry clanging bell
Some forgotten melody recurring.
Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, beggar-man or thief,
Ev'ry single leaf on ev'ry tree
Seems to be aware of something in the air;
And if only I were younger I'd put ribbons in my hair.
Something strange and gay on this romantic day
Seems to be happening to me.
