Old Familiar Way

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 Welcome to the Gay Parade
