Looking up - A musical interlude with Ella Fitzgerald

While searching for "looking up" inspiration for this month's NaBloPoMo, I happened upon this lovely song by Ella Fitgerald.  It's so fun!  I want it to make it my "alarm" for waking me up in the morning!

If you click on the link, you can listen to a snippet of it.  Edit:  Troy directed me to this audio version of it on Youtube.  Click Here.

Here are all of the lyrics:

If I should suddenly start to sing
Or stand on my head or anything
Don't think that I've lost my senses
It's just that my happiness finally commences



The long long ages of dull despair
Are turning into thin air
And it seems that suddenly I've
Become the happiest girl alive



Things are looking up
I've been looking the landscape over
And it's covered with 4 leaf clover
Oh things are looking up
Since love looked up at me



Bitter was my cup
But no more will I be the mourner
For I've certainly turned the corner
Oh things are looking up
Since love looked up at me



See the sunbeams
Every one beams
Just because of you
Love's in session
And my depression
Is unmistakably through



Things are looking up
It's a great little world we live in
Oh I'm happy as a pup
Since love looked up at me



(bridge)



See the sunbeams
Every one beams
Just because of you
Love's in session
And my depression
Is unmistakably through



Things are looking up
It's a great little world we live in
Oh I'm happy as a pup
Since love looked up at me
