  • Fall out of bed and catch a fading star
    Fancy I woke up before my alarm
    Rub my mind through my eyes
    It's the best I can do
    Before it's automatic, habit of returning to you
    Though I smile when it happens, almost as if it was magic
    It means there's a God somewhere and he's laughing
    And I shuffle my slipper less toes to the kitchen
    Still low to the ground, but high on living

    And I know, I know, it's going to be a good day
    Hello, hello, you beautiful thing

    Waking up, I stretch my body and acknowledge the makes
    It must be something I did yesterday
    Pour a cup of liquid gold, because my enginge's still cold
    But in a minute everything's gonna change

    'Cause I know, I know, it's going to be a good day
    Hello, hello, you beautiful thing

    Hello, hello, you beautiful thing

    This is what I've been waiting for (this is what I've been waiting for)
    This is what I've been waiting for (this is what I've been waiting for)

    Looking out from a cul de sac watching the bend of the Earth
    Take the black of the night from the dirt
    I can see from the depths of my readjusting eyes
    A reflection of yes' in that ever changing sky
    But why do bad dreams linger long after I awake?
    I don't need no scenes of voilence or pain replayed
    And I feel quite foolish sometimes when I pray
    But my thoughts are all I got so I try to make them brave

    And I know, I know, it's going to be a good day
    Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
    Hello, hello, you beautiful thing

    Oh this is what I've been waiting for (this is what I've been waiting for)
    Oh this is what I've been waiting for (this is what I've been waiting for)
    Oh this is what I've been waiting for (this is what I've been waiting for)
    Oh this is what I've been waiting for (Hello)

    And I know, I know, it's going to be a good day
    Hello, hello, you beautiful thing Writer/s: Chaska Lela Potter, Jason Mraz, Mona Tavakoli, Rebecca Gebhardt
