Too Marvelous For Words

Artist: Frank Sinatra
From the album: Songs for Swinging Lovers
Year: 1956
Arranger: Nelson Riddle
Lyrics by: Johnny Mercer
Music by: Richard Whiting

You’re just too marvelous, too marvelous for words
Like ‘glorious’, ‘glamorous’ and that old standby ‘amorous’.
It’s all too wonderful, I’ll never find the words
That say enough, tell enough, I mean they just aren’t swell enough.

You’re much too much, and just too ‘very, very’
To ever be in Webster’s Dictionary.
And so I’m borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you’re marvelous – too marvelous for words.
