Looking at the world through
rose colored glasses,
Everything is rosy now.
Looking at the world and
everything that passes,
Seems of rosy hue somehow.
Why do I feel surprise, don't
wink your eyes,
Needn't guess I'll confess,
certain someone just said yes.
In a bungalow all covered with
roses, I will settle down I vow,
That's why I'm looking at the
world through rose colored glasses,
Everything is rosy now.
(full instrumental interlude)
Oh yes, I'm looking at the world
through rose colored glasses,
Everything is rosy now.
Looking at the world and
everything that passes,
Seems of rosy hue somehow.
Why do I feel surprise, don't
wink your eyes,
Needn't guess I'll confess,
certain someone just said yes.
In a bungalow all covered with
roses, I will settle down I vow,
That's why I'm looking at the
world through rose colored glasses,
Everything is rosy now.
Yes, everything is rosy now.
