Noël Coward
Something Very Strange
(Verse)
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

(Chorus 1)
Something very strange is happening to me
Every 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 shad-
Ow on the sea
Some magician's spell has made this magic start
And 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

(Chorus 2)
Something very strange is happening to me
Every cat I see seems to be purring
I can clearly tell
In every clanging bell
Some forgotten mel-
Ody recurring
Tinker tailor soldier sailor beggarman or thief
Every single leaf
On every 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 enchanted day
Seems to be happening to me
