Neither the flowers on the hill

or the moonlight on the sea

Have ever looked so blue

And everything looks new again

In that old familiar way



The view from my room

of the ships on the bay

Had come to bore me through and through

But they suddenly seem new again

In that old familiar way



The delicate ballet of blossoms falling off a tree

Had long gone unnoticed by me

I'm stunned by what now I finally see

It's amazing the wonders you can find

Just by stepping outside



There's a skip in my step a divine state of joy

In everything I do

Cause I am feeling new again

In that old familiar way



When I'm awoken from my dreams

by a cuckoo on the roof

I always join in too

And every sound sounds new again

In that old familiar way



The life I used to know

when I was busy always on the go

Left me with nothing to show

Now I feel that I can honestly say

I'm living a suitable life

I'm glad I finally got it right
