Too Marvelous for Words

by Johnny Mercer

I search for phrases

To sing your praises

But there aren't any magic adjectives

To tell you all you are

You're just too marvelous

Too marvelous for words

Like glorious, glamourous

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
