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 man alive!

…

Things are looking up;

I’ve been looking the landscape over,

And it’s covered with four-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 unmistakeably 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.

…

-George & Ira Gershwin
